Devil’s backbone (scientific name Euphorbia tithymaloides or Pedilanthus tithymaloides) is a succulent plant that also goes by Jacob's ladder, Japanese poinsettia, Persian lady slipper plant, and zig-zag plant. The tropical plant is native to Central America and Mexico. Delightfully crooked, zig-zag stems give Variegated Devil’s Backbone its wild, rebellious look and playful nickname. Variegation in shades of chartreuse, yellow and cream highlight the edges of the small, pointed leaves, adding extra appeal to its exotic form. In the cooler winter months, the leaf edges can take on a pink hue. Variegated devil’s backbone grows well in well-drained soil of nearly any texture when planted outdoors. Plant your indoor slipper plant in an all-purpose potting soil mixed with coarse sand, with a 6.1 to 7.8 pH level, for optimal results. Keep the soil barely moist from tepid water, and protect your plant from temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. The plant will perform best in Sunset Zones H1, H2, 22, 23 and 24. Your devil’s backbone will thrive best in bright, but indirect, sun, although it will also tolerate partial shade. This colorful, succulent shrub makes a uniquely sculptural houseplant specimen. Also called Jacob’s Ladder, or Redbird Flower, the plant can develop tiny red flowers on the growing tips in spring, however they often don’t bloom in cultivation.

Great buy
Size: 12 Wide, Color: Black Faux Leather
I absolutely love these Amazon Essentials Belice Ballet Flats! They are so comfortable right out of the box and fit my feet perfectly. I can wear them all day without my feet hurting, which is hard to find with flats sometimes. They’re also really cute and go with almost everything I wear. I find myself reaching for them all the time because they’re both comfy and pretty. Definitely a great everyday shoe, especially for the price!

Loooove these shoes!
Size: 7.5 Wide, Color: Chestnut Brown Faux Leather
I have these in several colors, and they’ve become a true staple in my wardrobe. The Amazon Essentials Women's Belice Comfortable Slip-On Ballet Flats are exactly what I look for in an everyday shoe—simple, versatile, and comfortable right out of the box. The slip-on design makes them super convenient for busy days, and they pair effortlessly with everything from jeans to dresses to work outfits. They’re lightweight but still feel supportive enough for all-day wear, and I appreciate that they don’t require a break-in period. The fit is generally true to size, and the variety of colors makes it easy to stock up and rotate depending on the outfit. Overall, these are reliable, easy-to-wear flats that offer great value for the price. Not flashy, just consistently comfortable and practical—which is exactly why I keep coming back to them.
