Name: Pencil Cactus 
Scientific Name: Euphorbia tirucalli 
Family: Euphorbiaceae 

Product Description     
The Pencil Cactus, also known as Euphorbia tirucalli, is a unique and interesting succulent, not a true cactus. It has thin, pencil-like green stems that can turn reddish-orange in bright sunlight, especially during winter. The plant can grow up to 30 feet tall in its natural habitat but typically stays between 2-6 feet tall when grown indoors. It has small, inconspicuous yellow flowers appear at the ends of the branches in late spring and early summer. Overall, it is a low-maintenance plant that can add a striking visual element to your home or garden. Just be cautious with its sap and ensure it is kept out of reach of pets and children. 

Origination: Africa  
Historic Uses: Ornamental, Ethnobotanical 
Height: 20Ft 
Hardiness: USDA 10-12 (Protect from Frost) 
Flower Color: Yellow   
Other Names: Indian tree spurge, pencil tree, milk bush 

Growing Instructions:  
Prefers full sun but can tolerate some shade. Indoors, it should be placed near the brightest window. Thrives in sandy, well-drained soil. A cactus or succulent potting mix works well. Requires minimal watering. Water only when the soil is completely dry, which might be a couple of times a month during warmer months and even less during cooler months. Contains a toxic milky sap that can cause skin irritation and is harmful if ingested by humans or pets.

Ships in the 3.5” pots shown in the pictures. You will receive a plant that is very similar to the plants pictured however they may have grown some or depending on the time of year, they could be semi-dormant. Some plants will drop their leaves in winter - Crown of Thorns, Buddha Belly Jatropha, Etc. I have only grown plants in Florida and will send out anything I feel comfortable will grow here. It is up to you to know the conditions that these plants grow in the part of the country you reside. If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it for you. Please contact me with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery of your plants. It is my commitment to provide you with a live, healthy plant. Please note that minor cosmetic damage, such as a few broken leaves or small stems, may occur during transit and is a common risk inherent in the shipping process. Again, we cannot guarantee that some leaves won’t be broken or fall off- It is normal to lose some depending on the variety (Sedum, Echeveria, Cotyledon, Graptopetalum, etc...). Many kinds of leaves will re-root and grow into a new plant. Some that do not are Cotyledon and Aeonium. After 24 hours, my job is done and it is up to you (The buyer) to know how to keep it alive. 

Heat packs are available for purchase with your item to use if cold weather is expected at the time of shipment. (Link to Heat Pack: bit.ly/40ugd4J ) Keep in mind some plants we carry are very tropical and even cold, not freezing, temperatures can kill them. I will cancel any order I feel won't make it safely to its destination without freezing. 📌IF YOU EXPECT COLD WEATHER, PLEASE PURCHASE A HEAT PACK! 📌 I don't make any profit off of them because they are a necessary shipping item in winter. 

❗LOOK!!❗
Items cannot be shipped to CALIFORNIA or ARIZONA due to state import laws. Any orders from these states will be canceled. My apologies for this inconvenience.

Well Made Toy But My Standard Poodle Chewed Through it Anyway!
We have a standard poodle puppy that chews EVERYTHING! There isn't anything that she can't chew through - leashes, harnesses, toys - you name it and she tears it apart and if it's a toy, de-squeaks it and tears all the stuffing out. She has very powerful jaws! Now I have a couple of other Outward Hound toys that are made only of firehose material and those are still intact. But she loves the feel of the plush toys so I thought this seemed very durable and the inner part was of their Dura-Tuff liner, so I was hoping this would be a win win situation! The toy came and it IS well made and the outside plush is soft and inviting for the dog. Squeakers in every segment is a huge bonus with my dog as she loves squeakers. And no stuffing. Those nice qualities aside, after several weeks, she did manage to rip it apart, shred the material and de-squeak it! For an average dog or puppy, this might have worked wonderfully and lasted the entire lifetime. I still think its a quality made toy, but it just didn't last for my girl!! If this review has helped you in any way, please check yes at the bottom of the review.

The joy my dog gets from these toys is priceless!
I have a 5 year old Rottweiler, Poppy, who will absolutely annihilate any toy within minutes. I’ve had them all… same outcome. Stuffing all over within seconds and the enjoyment is short lived. I love these toys. There are several squeakers in them so once she gets ones out, she still loves the toy because she can find another squeaker. Also, because it’s long (yet substantially sized) she LOVES throwing them around and whipping them back and forth - something she does even after all the squeakers are gone. That alone makes this toy worth it. She typically no longer plays with toys once the squeaker or stuffing are removed but she will continue to whip these snake toys around and they’re durable. I don’t have to worry about her eating small pieces of cloth that is ripping off the toy. Having said all of that…. I’ve ordered her a few over the last several months and found that these toys are her favorite above all else. I’ve also found them to be a good value for me. But… if I could give these toys 25 stars, I would. My Poppy girl was recently diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma and will have about 6 more precious weeks with us, if we’re lucky. So, I ordered her two more. Because, she can have all the toys, right? And the pure amount of joy that lights up her beautiful face every-time she gets a new snake is priceless. I will absolutely continue to order them to make her remaining weeks as delightful as possible. I will be forever grateful for the happiness these specific snake toys bring my baby girl and could not recommend them enough.

Not so great for aggressive chewers!!
EDIT: well it’s been two days. My boy (American Staffordshire Terrier) has broken one of the squeakers and has made a Hole. Even tho he LOVES this toy and has been carrying it around the house it’s not for aggressive chewers. It’s pretty tough.. tougher than most but not Black Kong Tough. (Wykyk)

My little buddy loves it! (Loves it no more)
I ordered this in advance of the arrival of my 11 wk old Corgi pup. Not knowing what kind of a chewer I was getting, I wanted something that squeaked but did not have too many extremities to rip and tear at. I also didn't want too much stuffing to end up all over my house and in my buddy's tummy. It is soft and well constructed. I like that the snake is compartmentalized so that if one segment is breached, the others are not. As it turned out, at this time, my pup is not a violent ripper (except for with paper and cardboard). After a week of testing, it is his favorite toy. It took him about two days to figure out how to squeak it and boy does he love it. It is the only toy he will haul around, which is hilarious because its bigger than he is. It is also the only toy that he will play fetch with. I'm also working on "leave it" with the with him. Nemo chews a lot, but hasn't shown much interest in ripping at his toys, so after a week (if it were washed) it could probably pass as new. I also try to switch him over to a bone or rubber toy when he starts getting really excited. I am weary since my last dog was a lab who would shred her toys in seconds. Nemo was ripping at the tag (something about paper) so I cut that off to prevent a seem getting opened up. I'm surprised that the tongue is still intact. The tongue and eyes are weak links and Nemo does like to chew on them. Overall, I'm very pleased with this toy. My husband was skeptical and thought it a bit ridiculous, but even he has decided it was a good buy. *Update* Our original snake lasted 7 months. Nemo loved it. He would carry it around with him and squeak it till my husband and I went insane. He had mastered the rapid fire squeak. It was also the only toy he would reliably fetch. After 7 months my pup had punctured two of the squeakers and the fur was getting threadbare in some place. But overall we were very happy with the product. Last week we had a guest GSP at our home and he demolished the toy within minutes. Shredded all of the squeakers and the casing. So we were forced to get Nemo a new one. Unfortunately they have since changed the design. There is now a piping that goes all the way around the snake (before it was blind stitched). Nemo has a thing about tags and edges, he works slowly and methodically to nibble them off. Once the piping was compromised, Nemo had easy access to the squeakers. This new version of the toy lasted only a few hours. I am extremely disappointed with the changes made. I have reduced my 5 star review to 1 star and will no longer recommend this product.
