Description

Euphorbia flanaganii is a species of African spurge also known as Medusa s Head. The main stem forms a thick caudex from which tendril-like branches spread out like snakes. When given plenty of sun, this plant will produce a crown of tiny yellow flowers at the apex of the caudex. As the plant matures new pups will appear at the ends of the branches as they begin to swell and form caudices of their own. The pups will eventually take root and the stolon connecting them to the mother plant will shrivel away. This succulent will do best with at least 6 hours of sun a day, but will not tolerate dry soil for extended periods of time.
