Pedilanthus, also known as Devil’s Backbone or Red Bird Cactus, is a unique succulent renowned for its striking, zigzag-shaped stems and vibrant red bracts that resemble delicate flowers. This drought-tolerant plant adds an intriguing architectural element to gardens and landscapes, making it a favorite among succulent enthusiasts. Its unusual structure and low maintenance requirements make it an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor settings, thriving in various conditions.

Type of Light: Full Sun to Partial Shade
Pedilanthus prefers full sun but can adapt to partial shade. For the best growth and flowering, provide at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.

Watering: Low Water Requirement
Once established, Pedilanthus is highly drought-resistant. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. In cooler months, reduce watering even further to prevent root rot.

Companion Planting:
This versatile succulent pairs beautifully with other drought-tolerant plants like Agave, Aloe, and Sedum. These companions not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your garden but also thrive in similar growing conditions, making them perfect partners for Pedilanthus.
