Euphorbia Flanaganii
Euphorbia Flanaganii
- Plant Description
- Region and Specifications
- Watering and Light Recommendations
Meet the Euphorbia Flanaganii, also known as Medusa's Head. This African plant has a thick main stem with branches that look like snakes. When it gets lots of sunlight, it grows small yellow flowers on top. As it gets older, new baby plants grow on the ends of the branches. They grow their own thick stems. Eventually, they become independent, and the connection to the original plant fades away.
- Origin: South Africa
- Hardiness Zone: 9-11
- Hardiness: Tender soft succulent - cannot tolerate frost
- Recommended Light Conditions: Partial sunlight during the day
- Bloomtime: Late Winter Early Summer
- Bloom Color: Yellow
Indoors:
- Watering: Instead of providing gradual sips of water throughout the week, give the succulents a thorough soaking until water drains from the pot's drainage holes. Empty excess water from the saucer as succulents dislike sitting in water. Allow the soil to completely dry out before watering again.
Outdoors:
- Summer Watering: Water the succulents every two weeks by soaking them and allowing them to dry before watering again.
- Winter Watering: Water the succulents once a month.
Technical Details for Care:
- Light Requirements: Requires bright light for most of the day or constant dappled shade.
- Watering Frequency: Best to water every two weeks.
