Euphorbia stapelioides ‘Variegata’ (Monadenium) – Medusa Plant (Medium)

This Medusa Plant is unlike any succulent I’ve owned—its stems twist and curl in unpredictable ways, creating a form that feels alive with movement. The variegated version is formally listed as Euphorbia stapelioides ‘Variegata’, though many growers and nurseries still call it Monadenium stapelioides. That mix of names makes it even more of a curiosity among collectors. Over time, it develops into a living sculpture, its branching pattern taking on new shapes season by season. What I love most is its resilience—it grows steadily with minimal care, thriving in bright light and gritty soil while showing off a sculptural charm that looks both wild and intentional.
