Please ID/Tall Plant/No Soil
Hi,

I am so happy to have come across such an informative and friendly group!

Am hoping to find the name of the attached plant. It was given as a gift to a co-worker. The plant has new growth, and has been in the no-soil vase for about 6 months. I *love* it, and hope to get one for myself!

Thanks for taking the time to read my post!

Thanks so much for the fast responses!

Considering it's not in any soil, *cactus* would've been my lasssssst guess!!

Note, Euphorbia spp. are not cactus, although this one has the common name of pencil cactus.
