Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Description

With its tightly rippled, emerald-green fans, Crested Medusa’s Head (Euphorbia flanaganii f. cristata) looks more like a piece of coral than a conventional succulent. The crested growing point produces twisting folds and curls, sometimes fringed with tiny temporary leaves or mixed with a few slender, snake-like shoots. Small yellow-green flower structures may nestle around the growth. Its low, sculptural shape is especially effective in a shallow display pot, trough or sheltered succulent collection where the unusual crest can be seen close up. Give it bright light with morning sun or lightly filtered sun, introducing nursery-grown plants gradually to stronger exposure. Use a very free-draining, gritty succulent mix and a container with an open drainage hole. Water thoroughly during active growth, then wait until the mix is dry before watering again; keep it considerably drier and protected from prolonged rain in Makuru (Winter). Good airflow around the crowded crest helps discourage rot. Protect it from frost, and wear gloves and eye protection when handling, as damaged stems release irritating milky sap that is harmful if eaten.
