In Peru, the plant is known as "cimora misha," "timora misha," or "planta magica." It is sometimes added to drinks made from mescaline-containing Trichocereus cacti (although Euphorbia tithymaloides has no known psychoactive properties). Municipalities have planted Euphorbia tithymaloides in landfills, toxic waste sites, and along roadsides because it is one of the few plants which can thrive in these more difficult environments. Cabbage worms are particularly fond of the plant's leaves. Hummingbirds are attracted to the plant's flowers. Cuttings should be made in March – April or June – July, and from the middle or top of the main stem. Cuttings should be made above a joint, be 5 to 6 inches (13 to 15 cm) long, and planted in sandy, nutrient-rich soil and allowed to root before planting.

The seed pod is about 0.30 inches (7.6 mm) long and 0.35 inches (8.9 mm) wide, and ovoid in shape (with truncated ends). The male pedicel is hairy, while the female is glabrous. The floral leaves are bifid (split in two parts) and ovate, while the involucral bracts are bright red, irregularly acuminate in shape (e.g., like a slipper), and about 0.043 to 0.051 inches (1.1 to 1.3 mm) in length with a long, thin tube. The plant terminates in a dichotomous cyme, with a peduncle supporting each flower. The leaves are glabrous (smooth) and acuminate in shape, with entire (smooth) edges. Each leaf is sessile (attaching directly to the plant), and about 1.4 to 3 inches (3.6 to 7.6 cm) in length. The leaf is a simple angiosperm leaf, arranged oppositely on the stem. The shrub can grow to 6 to 8 feet (1.8 to 2.4 m) in height and generally is about 18 to 24 inches (46 to 61 cm) in width. The plant requires a sunny area to grow in. The plant tends to be taller and have more biomass if it is well-watered. It is relatively intolerant of high soil salinity levels, but exhibits saline tolerance if well fertilized. It prefers soil that is sandy, well-drained, and nutrient-rich, particularly with higher concentrations of boron, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc. In other parts of the world, it is known as gin-ryu (Japan) pokok lipan and penawar lipan (Indonesia) airi, baire, and agia (India) aperejo (Yoruba) sapatinho do diabo (Brazil) itamo real (Puerto Rico) pantoufle (France) and zapatilla del diablo (Mexico).Įuphorbia tithymaloides is native to tropical and subtropical North America and Central America.
