Also known as: Crested Medusa’s Head or Crested Christ Plant

Turn your plant collection into a living gallery with the otherworldly Euphorbia flanaganii ‘Crested Form’, a rare and mesmerizing succulent prized for its fan-like, sculptural growth. Unlike the traditional Medusa’s Head with its snake-like stems, this crested form produces undulating ridges and coral-like waves that resemble abstract desert art—making it a standout centerpiece for any succulent arrangement.

• Compact & Container-Friendly – Ideal for pots and collectors with limited space

 Growth & Care:

• Water: Drought-tolerant—allow soil to dry completely between waterings

• Soil: Plant in well-draining succulent or cactus mix 

• Growth Habit: Slow-growing, compact, and crested; forms fan-shaped clusters from a central base

• Leaves: Small and sparse, usually under 10mm, adding delicate detail to the bold form

• Modern Planters – Showcase its architecture in minimalist containers

• Collector’s Shelf – A rare specimen for serious succulent enthusiasts
