Devil's Backbone (Pedilanthus tithymaloides), also known as Zigzag Plant or Jacob's Ladder, is a bold and architectural tropical succulent prized for its distinctively jointed, zigzagging stems that grow in a striking upright habit unlike any other houseplant. The stems alternate direction at each node, creating a dramatic, angular silhouette topped with small, fleshy leaves that may be solid green or variegated with white and pink depending on the variety. Extremely easy to grow and highly drought tolerant, Devil's Backbone thrives with minimal watering and adapts well to a wide range of indoor light conditions — an outstanding low-maintenance statement plant for modern interiors, sunny patios, and tropical garden designs. Plants arrive in 2 inch starter pots, well-rooted and ready to establish indoors or outdoors in warm climates.
