This plant is very near and dear to my heart as I grew up with it running wild all through the West Indes. It is a relatively mild toxic Euphorbia for us & our fur babies but it is also used (don't try this at home kids) as a medicinal plant throughout The Greater Antilles. My Grandma who was a herbalist and medicine woman taught me how to use this plant to treat many things. Ailments ranging from fungal infections of the skin to treatment for some ingested poisons as it is an emetic when ingested as a tea.
FINALLY a plant that I already have! My great aunt gave me this plant a couple months ago. I just repotted it and it’s happy. Mine doesn’t have variegation but I wish it would cuz yours is beautiful!
I love my plain green devil's backbone. Here in Florida I keep it in bright shade outside.Super easy to propagate! Just break off a branch & sticking in a pot or in the ground. I brought all 3 of inside for the winter and my parent plant grew from 12" to 36" in 3 months! Just give them bright shade light and water occasionally and you'll have no trouble from this plant! So interesting and unusual.
What a beautiful plant, I have never seen this in person, but would love to have one in my collection. Thanks again Summer for sharing another amazing plant, see you tomorrow.
I first came across this plant at my kids Catholic school. They have the biggest & the most beautiful Devil's Backbone I've ever saw to date. It's VERY old from what I understand. One of my favorites in my collection of over 300+ plants!!!!
This plant is on my wishlist! It's funny how it comes in waves on the seller sites. Sometimes it's like everyone is selling one, and , like now, no one has any!! Lol!!!. It is a beautiful plant! I must say I am very partial to Euphorbias though. Great video!
@@Yoliplanting wow! Thank you! I havent been to any of the stores because of lockdown. I'm in NYC sooo. As long as I know where I can get it, I'll wait. Thank you!
Hi Summer, when you propagate, would you let the stem callous over or put it right in the soil mix? Thanks for the introduction to this beauty. Gotta have her!!
I have thousands of these white and green variegation THOUSANDS!!!!!!!! They root very easily (Just put em in the dirt and forget about them (even if it is dry) But they hate the cold ((In Central Florida)
@She’s my President I’m just north of you 20 miles up from Daytona. Mine is old and huge, but the leaves have been gone for a while. It’s not dead, but I’m so scared of it dying! My question for you is, do you have yours (well, they’re probably everywhere!) getting the afternoon and evening sun (on my front porch, so it’s half sun and half shade) or does it get the morning sun? If you see this, thank you in advance!! 🌿❤️🌿
I have been growing this in my outdoor garden in Zone9b central Florida USA for two year. Didn't know what it was called. A neighbor gave it to me. It has flourish well.
Another great vid. The species has a dark green, non-variegated leaf. I've grown this for years as Pedilanthus tithymaloides 'Zig Zag Lime' and it was registered as such. Asiatica Nursery imported it to the US from Thailand many years ago, giving it this validly published cultivar name.
U love this plant I gave big pots and one dropped her leaves. This video is very comforting. Any suggestions? I'm in Pico Rivera CA. I moved her under my patio so she is getting less sun.
We have this but a different variety and it is so beautiful. The leaves are a pale green and uniform. With the zig zag stems it looks almost like origami. When we leave it in the sun the leaves turn pinkish reddish
You ever had pear shaped purely white mites ? if heard they are predatory mites that eat pollen fungus etc a variety of predatory mites that sticks around even after threat is gone, altho it eats less spider mites it still does eat it.
Hello dear , please help me , do this plants have thorn on it , I have one plant it's look alike devils ivy but I m confused do this have thorn or don't ?

Your grandma sounds like a brilliant woman 💚
@@d.floydd thank you! She was my greatest teacher.
Heard it’s poisonous..?Do you take any safety precaution when propagating or while working with this plant?
@@zaidtanim4163 I'd recommend gloves and safety glasses but most importantly don't touch your face until you've completely washed your hands.
Qaq😊q😊😊p
Just got this plant today and the pink varigation has me so excited. Its beautiful!!!
One of my very first plants. I love it! It's very very reliable and easy and rewarding to grow! A great plant!

I have been growing this plant for 25 years. I was gifted a few cuttings from a friend. Also it will grow for years in a vase of water.

Mine died as soon as I bought it , i water it regularly I have no idea what’s going on
@@rawansaad8124 may be due to excess watering 😕
are they slow growers?
@@lmfaojdjdj5234 no I wouldn’t say so.

Here in Brazil it is used as a garden plant. She endures the rainy times well. We call it a Jewish shoe here because of its flowers.
Summer you have the best taste in pots!! Love that one! Also as to the Euphorbia Tithymaloides Pedilanthus I have it but in dark green .
wow, this is a beautiful plant!! I would love to have this plant at home, thanks for showing this Euphorbia Summer.

They have it for 4.95 at Homedepot if you are in the States.

Hi

Can you make a version of the curly one
Oh yay. I have a similar one and it's so hard to understand.
You ever had pear shaped purely white mites ? if heard they are predatory mites that eat pollen fungus etc a variety of predatory mites that sticks around even after threat is gone, altho it eats less spider mites it still does eat it.
fun fact:when it flowers, the flower produces some sweet sugary juice/sirup. i tried it, really sweet :D
😯😯❤ I'm about to ask.this question coz we have these for years and I did not see any flowers yet.
I have this plant and it's presently getting eaten up by large purple caterpillars. I live in Florida. Any ideas what these caterpillars are?
are they slow growers?
What a soil mix ??
It's a succulent!!!???!!!!?? 😲 Wow I never saw that coming!
