Euphorbia Flanaganii
Euphorbia flanaganii, commonly referred to as the Green Medusa's Head or just Medusa's Head, is a captivating succulent native to South Africa. It's instantly recognizable and sought-after by plant enthusiasts for its unique, serpentine growth habit and intriguing, textured appearance.
Appearance:
Stems: The plant features a central, rounded caudex (swollen stem base) from which numerous, slender, snake-like branches emerge and trail outwards. These branches are typically green, sometimes with reddish or purplish tinges, and are covered in tiny, warty bumps.
Leaves: Small, rudimentary leaves may appear on new growth but quickly fall off, leaving the branches bare and adding to the Medusa-like impression.
Flowers: In the spring or summer, it may produce small, yellowish-green flowers at the tips of the branches, though blooming is not the main attraction of this plant.
Growth Habits and Care:
Sunlight: Thrives in bright, indirect light or partial shade.
Soil: Requires well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix.
Watering: Drought-tolerant once established, water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
Additional Information:
Euphorbia flanaganii is a slow-growing succulent, making it a great choice for those seeking a low-maintenance plant.
It is a popular addition to hanging baskets or containers where its trailing branches can cascade freely.
The first photo serves a display purpose only. The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
