Introducing the Green Devil’s Backbone Plant – Subtropical Pedilanthus 2-Pack 2″ Pots, a distinctive succulent known for its zigzag stems and vibrant appearance. This tropical plant thrives both indoors and outdoors, adding a touch of exotic beauty to any space. Native to regions including Florida, Mexico, and Central America, this member of the Euphorbia family makes an excellent addition to your home or garden.
This easy-care succulent is perfect for plant enthusiasts looking for a low-maintenance option. It features compact 2-3 foot growth with small green leaves measuring 1-3 inches long. The Green Devil’s Backbone is not only visually appealing but also a relative of the well-known poinsettia, bringing subtle seasonal vibes to your space.
Whether grown outdoors in hot, humid climates (USDA zones 9-11) or as an indoor houseplant, it adapts well to a variety of conditions. When grown indoors, provide bright, indirect sunlight to encourage healthy growth.

The Pedilanthus flowers are another highlight, described as slippers, red birds, or ducks—small blooms that add to the plant’s allure. Use this plant to enhance your indoor décor or as a landscape feature in warm climates. Its zigzag pattern and low water requirements make it an excellent choice for both beginners and seasoned gardeners.
