Plant Description

This new arrival into the US from Thailand is a real show-stopper when grown in patio containers. Quite a change from the traditional variegated Jacob's Ladder, the cultivar Splish Splash has zig zag stems that are mostly white splashed with green. Also known as Devil's Backbone, Jacob's Ladder plants are succulents that can be brought inside during the winter and treated like houseplants. Just be sure to not over water them when grown indoors. The plant will sometimes take on pink tones in the leaves and stems during cool weather.
