Water NeedsThese succulents are drought-tolerant and prefer to dry out completely between waterings. Water thoroughly, but only when the soil is completely dry, and reduce watering frequency during the winter months

Light Needs: Direct Sunlight! Pencil cacti need a lot of light. They should be placed in a location that receives direct sunlight for at least six hours a day, such as a south or west-facing window. 

Special Care: Pot needs to have holes in it for drainage. They are not frost-tolerant and should be protected from freezing temperatures. Wear gloves and eye protection when pruning, as the sap can cause irritation. Prune to control size and shape, removing dead or damaged stems.

Benefits: Great for beginners! Low Maintenance: It's a resilient plant that thrives in dry conditions and requires minimal watering, making it suitable for beginners or those with busy schedules. 

Air Purification: Pencil cactus is known to help purify indoor air by absorbing toxins. 

In traditional medicine, various parts of the plant have been used to treat ailments like coughs, asthma, earaches, and even certain types of cancer, according to research papers.
