Euphorbia caput-medusae – "Medusa's Head" Succulent
Unleash a touch of the mythical in your space with Euphorbia caput-medusae, a striking succulent native to South Africa and famously known as "Medusa’s Head." With its thick, central caudex and twisting, snake-like stems, this exotic plant brings bold texture, sculptural form, and a conversation-starting presence to any collection.
What Makes It Special
Myth-Inspired Form
Just like its namesake, 'Medusa’s Head' features a bulbous base from which an array of long, slender branches radiate outward—twisting and sprawling like serpents in every direction. It’s a truly one-of-a-kind plant that adds instant drama and visual intrigue.
Bold Texture and Color
The gray-green to brown stems are rough-textured and often dotted with tiny spines, enhancing the wild, untamed look of this plant. It's a natural showpiece, whether grown solo or in a curated succulent garden.
Resilient and Drought-Tolerant
Highly adapted to dry environments, Euphorbia caput-medusae thrives with minimal watering, making it a perfect addition to water-wise landscapes, xeriscapes, or low-maintenance indoor plant displays.
