It is a succulent shrub that can grow up to 40-60cm in height and has a distinctive pencil-like appearance, with thin, green stems that resemble a cluster of pencils. The plant is native to Africa and India and is commonly found in arid and semi-arid regions.

The Pencil Cactus is a hardy plant that requires minimal care and attention, making it an ideal choice for those who are new to gardening or have limited time to devote to plant care. It thrives in bright, indirect sunlight and can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, from hot and dry to cool and humid.

One of the most unique features of the Pencil Cactus is its sap, which is highly toxic and can cause skin irritation.
