Details

The Devil's Backbone Euphorbia is a fascinating and unusual indoor plant known for its zigzagging stems and colorful variegated leaves, which can range from green to pink to cream. This plant's quirky appearance makes it a conversation starter and a unique addition to any indoor plant collection. Native to Central America, the Devil's Backbone is a hardy succulent that thrives in a wide range of indoor conditions, making it perfect for plant enthusiasts who appreciate something out of the ordinary.

  • Botanical Name: Euphorbia tithymaloides
    Common Names: Devil's Backbone, Redbird Cactus, Zigzag Plant, Jacob’s Ladder
  • Water Requirements: The Devil's Backbone Euphorbia prefers to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, but be cautious not to overwater, as this plant is drought-tolerant and susceptible to root rot.
  • Temperature: The Devil's Backbone thrives in temperatures from 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures but should be kept away from frost and cold drafts.
  • Light Requirement: Bright, indirect light to full sun. The Devil's Backbone performs best in bright light, which helps maintain its vibrant variegation and unique stem shape. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, but avoid prolonged exposure to intense afternoon sun, which can cause leaf burn.
