Euphorbia 'Devil's Backbone'

Botanical Name: Euphorbia tithymaloides

Common Names: Devil's Backbone, Zigzag plant

Description: Euphorbia 'Devil's Backbone' is a striking and unique plant that’s sure to turn heads in any collection! 

With its dramatic zigzag-shaped stems and vibrant green coloration, this succulent-like plant gets its name from its spine-like structure, which looks almost like a devil’s backbone twisting in the air. Perfect for plant enthusiasts looking for something a little out of the ordinary!

Despite its fierce appearance, 'Devil's Backbone' is surprisingly easy to care for. It thrives in bright, indirect light and needs minimal watering—just let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Like many succulents, it prefers well-draining soil and can handle periods of drought, making it ideal for beginners or those with busy schedules.

Although it’s a beauty, be cautious when handling, as the plant’s sap can be irritating to the skin. Add some bold character to your plant collection with this eye-catching, low-maintenance gem!

Keep in mind that the plant is toxic to pets and people, so keep it out of reach from curious children, cats, or dogs.
