Variegated Devils Backbone Cuttings, Euphorbia tithymaloides, Pedilanthus tithymaloides,…

Devil’s backbone (scientific name Euphorbia tithymaloides or Pedilanthus tithymaloides) is a succulent plant that also goes by Jacob's ladder, Japanese poinsettia, Persian lady slipper plant, and zig-zag plant. The tropical plant is native to Central America and Mexico. A member of the spurge family of plants, the devil's backbone is sometimes known as a variegated devil’s backbone because of its leaf formation, which features green and white variegated leaves. While the plant does have true flowers, it also has red leaf bracts that some gardeners call slipper flowers due to their shoe shape. All parts of the devil’s backbone plant are toxic to pets (including dogs and cats) and humans if eaten. Avoid touching the plant's milky sap, as it may lead to skin irritation; however, you can touch the green leaves without fear of toxicity. The green succulent called devil’s backbone is a common houseplant but can also grow outdoors in USDA Hardiness Zones nine and ten. In North America, those USDA zones correspond to parts of Mexico and Florida. Here are a few additional considerations if you plan on growing the devil's backbone plant indoors: Soil: Opt for a potting mix that includes perlite to help with water drainage and air circulation around the roots. Water: The devil's backbone plant thrives in evenly moist soil, but you should not overwater the plant—too much water will lead to root rot or discolored, yellow leaves. If you live in a dry region, you can consider misting the leaves weekly to help keep the plant hydrated. Light: Keep your potted plant near a window that receives indirect sunlight or partial shade. Avoid too much direct sunlight, which will scorch the leaves. Container: Choose an absorbent clay pot with plenty of drainage holes. This will allow the plant to drink as much as it needs before the rest of the water can evaporate away, preventing the roots from sitting in standing water. ** You receive 4 cuttings with the length of 4 inches to 6.5 inches long. ** Place cuttings in water to grow roots. Once roots appear, plant in pot with soil and water. ** Alternative rooting method: dip ends in rooting powder and plant in a small pot. Moisten the soil. Do not transfer until plant shows new root system. *** No Returns Accepted | If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to us. ***
