Euphorbia are the go-to plants if you love that classic desert look. Often called Candelabra or Pencil cactus, these succulents are famous for their tall, branching shapes and thorny stems that look straight out of a western movie. Because they’re originally from Africa, they’re incredibly tough and love a sunny windowsill.

They don’t need much watering at all, making them great if you want a big, sculptural statement piece without the hard work. They even change color in the sun! If you have a bright, warm spot, these funky plants are a fantastic fit for your home.
