Variegated Devil's Backbone Euphorbia

$12.00

Botanical Name: Euphorbia tithymaloides Variegated

Common Names: Variegated Devil's Backbone

Description: 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. 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. Grow in a well-draining, light potting mix, and avoid extended periods of extreme dryness, which can cause leaf drop.

What is interior plantscaping and how does it differ from simply having houseplants?

Interior plantscaping is a strategic approach to placing and arranging plants within indoor environments to enhance aesthetics and functionality, focusing on plant types, sizes, and layout to create a cohesive indoor landscape. It goes beyond just adding plants, aiming to improve air quality and overall well-being.

How do I choose the right plants for my office's indoor plant design?

When selecting office plants, consider the lighting conditions, maintenance needs, and available space. Opt for low-light, easy-care plants like pothos or sansevierias for minimal natural light and maintenance. Ensure the plant sizes fit well within the available space.

Can interior plantscaping help improve workplace productivity?

Absolutely. Incorporating plants into the office, known as biophilic design, can boost productivity and reduce stress. Plants contribute to noise reduction, better air quality, and a connection with nature, all of which enhance focus, decrease fatigue, and increase employee satisfaction.
