Devil's Backbone (Variegated)
The devil’s backbone is a low-maintenance succulent that is commonly grown as an indoor houseplant.
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
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.
