Due to its rich, milky sap, the Pencil Cactus (Euphorbia tirucalli) is also known as milk bush. It is endemic to semi-arid tropical areas of Africa and India. The Pencil Cactus may reach a height of 30 feet in the wild and well over 6 feet indoors. This stem succulent is not a real cactus, and it photosynthesizes in its stems rather than the tiny leaves that emerge at the end of new growth.
