Indoor Houseplant

We dabble in house plants from time to time. This is one we took to the Northeast Plant Show in Syracuse on August 2. It was a big hit. 

"Devil's Backbone" commonly refers to the succulent species Euphorbia tithymaloides, previously classified as Pedilanthus tithymaloides. It is a member of the Euphorbiaceae family, also known as the spurge family.

Appearance: It's a low-maintenance succulent known for its unique zigzagging stems that resemble a spine or backbone, giving it the characteristic name.

Other Names: It's also called Zigzag Plant, Redbird Cactus, Jacob's Ladder, Slipper Flower, Japanese Poinsettia, and more.

Leaves: It features small, lance-shaped leaves that can be green, variegated with white edges, and sometimes take on a reddish or pink tint in bright light or cool weather.

Flowers: While the plant does have true flowers, it also has red leaf bracts that are sometimes called "slipper flowers" due to their shoe shape. It generally flowers in mid-spring, although flowering indoors is less common.

Toxicity: All parts of the Devil's Backbone plant, including the roots, stems, and leaves, are toxic to pets (like dogs and cats) and humans if ingested. The milky sap can also cause skin irritation upon contact.

Growth: It can be grown indoors or outdoors in warm climates (USDA Hardiness Zones 9-11). Outdoors, it can grow up to 8 feet tall, while indoor plants typically reach 4 or 5 feet.

Care: It prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sun (avoiding intense midday rays) and thrives in well-draining, sandy soil or a cactus/succulent mix. It's relatively drought-tolerant, so it's important to allow the soil to dry out between waterings to avoid root rot.

Benefits: Besides its ornamental value, it's known for being a low-maintenance plant and is believed to have air-purifying properties, filtering out toxins like formaldehyde and benzene.

She loves it (I got the lobster one)
Style: Lobster, Size: One Size
My 6 month old JRT has never been so hyper over a toy before lol I will say two things, she can't get her mouth on it enough to engage the squeaker/tail aspect on her own so if you have a smaller dog/puppy be mindful of that. And she broke its tail within 10 mins of chewing on it, apparently that's her favorite part after she saw it move lol so it's all bent up now. BUT if your dog likes tossing their toys around like mine it's perfect, it's light enough for her to do that and the tail and claws are good biting spots. And she hasn't tore it up yet despite her best efforts. A solid toy.

My Pittie loves it
Style: Lobster, Size: One Size
Very well made. Both my dogs were so intruiged by the movement, it wore off quickly but they still get into it from time to time (they have tons of other toys to distract them). my 100 lb Pitt mix was the only one who had a big enough mouth to really get it to work on his own but that didn't stop my 35 lb shar pei mix from chasing him around and trying to grab the tail! It has held up surprisingly well... Have had it for over six months and while it's nasty as heck from slobber it is in one piece.

So Disappointed
Style: Squirrel, Size: One Size, Style: Squirrel, Size: One Size
I purchased this godog interactive toy for my 6-month-old puppies for Christmas. The tail didn't move when I removed it from the package but they were so intrigued by the squeaker I gave it to them anyway. The toy didn't even last for a half hour before they had ripped the tail open and were scattering stuffing everywhere. The same thing happened with the leg of the chicken, the tail of the lobster and the wing of the duck. They were all poor quality and couldn't withstand normal puppy play. Additionally, the tip of the squeaker came off and my little dog swallowed it! I have a godog Llama that survived 2 years with a red-tick coon hound who could chew her way through a wall. The pups have been playing with it since they came home four months ago. It's a bit raggedy and the squeaker honks now, but it's still intact and keeps them entertained. That's the same quality I expected when I ordered these toys. That is why I'm so disappointed. Sadly, the $5 toys i purchased are still in one piece and still being played and snuggled with.

Was so hopeful!
Style: Lobster, Size: One Size, Style: Lobster, Size: One Size
My dog Dax is like a big German Shepherd trapped in a little Chawinnie. he’s only one and loves to chew on stuffed toys like this. I was excited to try this brand out because it looked very promising. Unfortunately only lasted a little over 48 hours and he was able to gutt it out & rip off the eyes. He really loved it though, it has a different sounding squeaker and when he bit it the tail would flop up/down, I also like that the squeaker part was right in the middle which made it hard for him to get to it since his mouth is small.. despite that he was still able too. The size was perfect for him though so I’ll probably sew it up and give ir back to him then order another one. Giving 4 stars because it’s well made can’t help that my dogs ferocious!
