The Medusa's Head Euphorbia, named after the famous Greek Gorgon, is a unique and hardy Euphorbia species. With its snake-like arms that spread out from the crown and grow up to 40cm in diameter, this ground-covering plant is sure to add a touch of interest to any garden. The Euphorbia Genus, of which the Medusa's Head is a part of, is the second largest genus of plants in the world, with close to 2,200 species.
The Medusa's Head Euphorbia is relatively easy to care for, but it is susceptible to mealybugs. Cactus Vision recommends this cactus for pots, balcony gardens, and raised beds, where it can receive plenty of sunlight. Although this plant thrives in full sun, it is important to keep an eye on the soil moisture and water it weekly during warmer periods. With its striking appearance and low maintenance needs, the Medusa's Head Euphorbia is a great addition to any cactus collection. Just remember, neglect it and it will turn you to stone (not literally of course).
