Devil’s Backbone Plant

  • 1. Soil: Opt for a potting mix that includes perlite to help with water drainage and air circulation around the roots.
  • 2. Water: The devil’s backbone plant thrives in evenly moist soil, but you should not overwater the plant—too much water will lead to root rot or discolored, yellow leaves. If you live in a dry region, you can consider misting the leaves weekly to help keep the plant hydrated.
  • 3. Light: Keep your potted plant near a window that receives indirect sunlight or partial shade. Avoid too much direct sunlight, which will scorch the leaves.
  • 4. Container: Choose an absorbent clay pot with plenty of drainage holes. This will allow the plant to drink as much as it needs before the rest of the water can evaporate away, preventing the roots from sitting in standing water

Description

1. Take a cutting. In the spring or early summer, take a cutting about four inches in length from a piece of new growth stem on your devil’s backbone plant. Cut the plant between leaves using clean, sterilized scissors.

2. Allow the cutting to dry. Let the cutting sit undisturbed on a windowsill or a counter for a few days so the cut end scabs over.

3. Plant the stem cutting. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone if you wish before planting the cutting in a well-draining potting soil consisting of succulent mix and perlite. Allow the stem to develop a new root system before you attempt to transfer it to a new container.
