Euphorbia Squarrosa

Unleash the captivating allure of Euphorbia Squarrosa, a truly unique succulent affectionately known as the "Medusa's Head"! This intriguing species boasts a fascinating, twisting growth habit, with its cylindrical stems emerging from a central caudex (swollen base), resembling the mythical Medusa's serpentine hair. Native to South Africa, this low-maintenance beauty is a must-have for any collector seeking an unconventional addition to their succulent garden.

Features:

• Unique Growth Habit: Cylindrical stems emerge from a central caudex, creating a mesmerizing twisted form. The stems are often raised for display, showcasing the plant's intricate root system.

• Intriguing Texture: Stems are covered in small, pointed tubercles, adding a touch of visual interest and a unique tactile experience.

• Subtle Flowers: Produces small, yellow-green cyathia (a type of inflorescence) at the tips of the stems, adding a subtle touch of color.

• Slow-Growing: This Euphorbia is a slow-growing species, making it a perfect choice for those seeking a long-lasting and rewarding addition to their collection.

• Easy Care: Requires minimal watering and thrives in well-draining soil, making it perfect for beginners or busy plant enthusiasts.

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers full sun to light shade. It thrives in full sun but can tolerate moderate shade.

• Water: Water regularly during the active growing season (spring and summer), allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly during the winter months.

• Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix.
