Euphorbia Flanaganii Crest
Euphorbia Flanaganii Crest, commonly known as Green Coral or Medusa's Head, is an intriguing succulent that features a unique crested caudex or branches. This plant can grow up to 6 cm tall and up to 12 cm wide, forming a clump of fan-shaped branches resembling a wavy emerald green coral.
Unlike most succulents, Medusa's Head does not handle long periods of drought well and requires weekly watering during the summer. It thrives under direct sunlight and needs at least 6 hours of direct sun per day for decent health and growth.
One fascinating aspect of Euphorbia Flanaganii Crest is its ability to produce pups on older arms' ends. Once it reaches a certain size, a mother plant will produce growths that start as a swelling at the end of an arm and rapidly grow its caudex and arms. After a time, if they don't root on their own, the arm shrivels and allows the pup to roll away, where it rapidly grows if given access to soil and water. This propagation method can result in a whole greenhouse full of these unique and captivating succulents.
Euphorbia Flanaganii Crest is an ideal plant for container gardens, and it can also be put into gardens so long as it is protected from freezes. This succulent is native to South Africa and is hardy in warm climates, thriving in Australian hardiness zones 9b to 11b.
Overall, Euphorbia Flanaganii Crest is a fascinating succulent that is sure to add interest to any garden or indoor plant collection. Its unique crested branches, water requirements, and propagation method make it a must-have for succulent enthusiasts.

Succulents naturally change in colour, size and form throughout the year. Many develop richer colours and more compact growth during periods of seasonal stress, particularly through cooler months and brighter conditions, while warmer or lower-light conditions may produce greener, softer growth.
The plant you receive may therefore vary from the product images depending on the season, its stage of growth and current growing conditions. These natural variations are part of the character of living plants and do not affect their quality or health.
