The Pedilanthus, also known as Devil’s Backbone or Slipper Plant (scientifically named Euphorbia tithymaloides), is a popular and easy-to-care-for succulent.

Here is a comprehensive guide to caring for your Pedilanthus:

Light

Bright, indirect light is best. Pedilanthus thrives in a location with plenty of filtered sunlight.
Avoid direct afternoon sun, as it can scorch the leaves, especially on variegated varieties.
The plant can tolerate partial shade, but it may become leggy and lose its vibrant coloration. A lack of light can also cause leaves to turn pale.
It also does well under artificial grow lights.

Watering

Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. This is a succulent, so it stores water in its stems and leaves. Overwatering is the most common cause of problems like root rot and yellowing leaves.
A good rule of thumb is to check the soil with your finger—if the top 1-2 inches are dry, it’s time to water.
Water less frequently during the dormant season (fall and winter). If the plant’s leaves start to shrivel or drop, it is a sign of underwatering.

Soil and Fertilizer

Use a well-draining soil mix. A cactus or succulent potting mix is an excellent choice. You can also create your own by adding perlite or coarse sand to a standard potting mix to improve drainage.
Fertilize during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer, diluted to half-strength.
Avoid fertilizing during the fall and winter when the plant is not actively growing.

Temperature and Humidity

Pedilanthus prefers warm temperatures between 18-29°C.
It is not frost-hardy and should be protected from cold drafts.
The plant is quite adaptable to typical indoor humidity levels but will appreciate a higher humidity environment. If the air is very dry, you can place it on a pebble tray with water.

Pruning and Propagation

You can prune the plant to maintain its shape, control its size, and encourage bushier growth.
When pruning, be aware that the plant produces a milky white sap which can be a skin irritant and is toxic if ingested. It’s best to wear gloves.
Pedilanthus is easy to propagate from stem cuttings. Simply cut a 4-6 inch section of the stem, let the cut end “callus” (dry out and harden) for a few days, and then plant it in a well-draining soil mix.

Common Problems

Yellowing leaves: Usually a sign of overwatering.
Dropping leaves: Most often caused by underwatering or a sudden change in environmental conditions.
Mealybugs and spider mites: Keep an eye out for these common pests. You can treat them with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

A note on toxicity:

As a member of the Euphorbia family, the Pedilanthus contains a latex-based sap that is toxic. Keep this plant out of reach of children and pets.
