Euphorbia flanaganii 'Medusa’s Head' is a fascinating and sculptural succulent named for its resemblance to the snake-covered head of the mythical Medusa. Native to South Africa, this plant forms a low, sprawling rosette of snake-like, cylindrical green stems that radiate outward from a central caudex, giving it a wild, tentacle-like appearance. It's a member of the Euphorbia genus, not a true cactus, and exudes a white, milky sap when cut, which is toxic and can be irritating to the skin and eyes.
Extremely drought-tolerant and easy to care for, 'Medusa’s Head' thrives in bright, indirect light or full sun and prefers well-draining soil, such as a cactus mix. Overwatering should be avoided, as the plant is highly susceptible to root rot. It can be grown indoors in a container or outdoors in arid, frost-free climates. Tiny yellow-green flowers often emerge at the tips of the stems during the growing season, adding to its otherworldly charm. Compact, low-maintenance, and visually unique, Euphorbia flanaganii 'Medusa’s Head' is a standout addition to succulent collections or xeriscape gardens.
Be aware that the sap of this plant is toxic and should not be touched by children or pets. If you happen to come into contact with the sap while handling the plant, wash your hands right away.
