Unleash a touch of mythical wonder in your home or garden with the captivating Euphorbia caput-medusae, aptly named "Medusa's Head." This unique succulent, native to South Africa, boasts a mesmerizing form with a thick, central caudex (stem base) that erupts with a tangle of snake-like arms, creating a dramatic and unforgettable display.  

Key Features:

  • Medusa-Like Appearance: True to its name, this Euphorbia develops a thick, central stem that resembles a head, from which numerous slender, serpent-like branches emerge, creating a truly unique and captivating form.  

  • Intriguing Texture: The stems are typically gray-green or brown, with a rough texture that adds to their snake-like appearance. They may also have small, spiny thorns, adding a touch of wildness to its beauty.

  • Drought-Tolerant: This resilient succulent thrives in arid conditions, requiring minimal watering once established. It's a perfect choice for xeriscapes, rock gardens, or those seeking a low-maintenance, water-wise addition to their landscape.

Care Tips:

  • Sunlight: Provide ample sunlight for optimal growth and form.

  • Watering: Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

  • Soil: Plant in well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix.  

Important Note: As with all Euphorbias, the sap can be irritating to the skin and eyes. Handle with care.
