Pedilanthus tithymaloides 'Devil's Backbone' is a striking, succulent-like perennial known for its distinctive zigzagging stems and colorful foliage. Often grown as a houseplant or ornamental feature in warm climates, it thrives in bright, indirect light and well-drained soil. Its stems appear to "zig" and "zag" in a manner that gives the plant its common name, and the leaves range in color from deep green to variegated shades with creamy margins and hints of red or pink. This low-maintenance plant is drought-tolerant and adds an exotic, architectural element to any plant collection, though care should be taken, as its milky sap can be toxic if ingested or irritating to the skin. Please Note: Plant will ship bare root with little to no dirt, and you will receive a plant similar to the one in the photo. Be aware that the sap of this plant is toxic and should not be touched by children or pets. If you happen to come into contact with the sap while handling the plant, wash your hands right away.Returns & exchanges: Not acceptedPlease contact us if you have any issues with your order Show more
