Devil’s Backbone – Pedilanthus tithymaloides

Devil’s Backbone is a sculptural, zig-zagging plant with a wild silhouette and upright growth that gives it major attitude. A relative of euphorbia, this drought-tolerant oddball thrives on a little neglect and brings bold shape and personality to your collection.

Its juicy stems twist and lean as they grow, making each one feel like a little work of abstract art.

🔥 Note: Contains a milky sap that may irritate skin and is toxic if ingested—keep away from pets and little ones.

🎁 A unique gift for collectors or design-forward plant lovers
