Euphorbia caput-medusae 'Medusa', often referred to simply as Medusa's Head, is a fascinating and architecturally intriguing succulent native to South Africa. 

Growth Habit: Euphorbia caput-medusae 'Medusa' features a central, bulbous caudex from which numerous snake-like branches radiate outward and upward, creating a dense and tangled appearance. This growth pattern mimics the form of a medusa’s head, hence its common name.

Stem Characteristics: The stems are long, slender, and flexible, with a green to bluish-green coloration.

Rock and Cactus Gardens: Ideal for rock gardens or desert landscapes where its unusual form can serve as a focal point.

Container Gardening: Suitable for container growing, particularly in shallow, wide pots that accommodate its spreading habit.

Drought Tolerance: Extremely drought-tolerant, relying on the water stored in its stems to survive dry periods.

Low Maintenance: Requires minimal care, thriving on neglect, and suitable for gardeners seeking low-maintenance garden solutions.

Light: Thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade.
