Product Details

The devil's backbone is an erect succulent shrub that is native to the subtropical areas of Florida, Central America, and South America. It grows from 2 to 10 feet tall and 1 to 2 feet wide and has green, zigzag shaped branches. It is a member of the spurge family (Euphorbiaceae). It's best to let the soil dry out between waterings. This Euphorbia tithymaloides devil backbone plant prefers well-draining soil, so make sure the pot has drainage holes. When you do water it, give it a good soak until the water drains out of the bottom. Allow the soil to completely dry out before watering again.
