*A WORD OF CAUTION ABOUT EUPHORBIA PLANTS
Euphorbias are filled with a milky latex that can cause extreme irritation to the skin and eyes. Great care should be taken to keep them out of the reach of children and pets that play with plants. As well, you should take care to keep the plant at arm’s length when repotting or relocating a Euphorbia.
You may recall the childhood admonition of your mother not to play with the leaves of poinsettia, also a Euphorbia.
You would do well to wear the masks and gloves that are now part of our lives if you are trimming your pencil cactus, and protect your eyes.
