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.

Great book, but the other book of the same author is much better
Format: Hardcover
This is a very high quality book, chock a block full of information about construction sites, with lots of imaginative flaps, things that swivel, move, and fold. HOWEVER...it is not as good as "The Ultimate Book of Vehicles" by the same author. The "Vehicles" book is more appropriate for kids 3 years and up: It is still full of awesome flaps, swivels, and things that move, but it is simpler, with pictures of the vehicle, the name of the vehicle, and maybe a few names of the parts of the vehicle. You open up a flap to see inside, make it move, etc. My son found it very interesting. The "Construction" is really aimed for older kids, I'm guessing 5 and up, maybe even older. There are just so many words on the page, and so much information. The flaps are not as interesting as the previous book, and I found many of the moving parts to be "sticky", and my 3 year old ripped quite a few out within a week of reading the book. We have not ripped anything from the "Vehicle" book. So I would say if you have an older kid who wants to gain a lot of knowledge about construction sites, this book is for you. But if you have a younger child (3 and up, any younger and they'd destroy the book), get the "Vehicle" book.

So Much Fun And Very Informative
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This book has been a winner in our house since it arrived. Each page has so many flaps, spins, pulls and movement. So many new words and easy explanations for the kids. The pictures are beautifully designed and each time we look through it we find more details we missed! The book is an excellent purchase and definitely worth every penny!

Best Construction Kids book
Format: Hardcover
My nephew can look at this book for hours. It is such a cool book even for adults. It is a more delicate child’s book as their are lots of demonstrations and paper pieces that move. The house across the street is being torn down and rebuilt and he will sit and point to the book and say this is what they are doing today. I think this book is one of my nephews most prized possessions. It’s a great book that can grown with them for a few years. He is only 3 but this could easily engage a 5 or 6 year old. There is lots of details and the book is really well designed.

Fun, but fragile
Format: Hardcover
This is a cool book, and my 2.5 year old son LOVES it. However it is important to note that it will be destroyed very quickly. There are lots of flaps and moving parts and it is very easy to accidentally rip them off if you try to move one in a way it's not meant for. I ripped more than 1 myself.
