Euphorbia stapelioides ‘Variegated’ – Medusa Plant “OG Draka” (Large)

“OG Draka” embodies quiet resilience—graceful, steady, and shaped by time itself. Originally from Baltimore, she and her brother “OG Drako” were once a single plant adopted from the Baltimore Conservatory. She carries the unmistakable energy of a Medusa Plant yet moves to her own serene rhythm. Her variegated arms unfurl like soft waves, reaching outward rather than upward, a living study in balance. Where Drako twists with intensity, Draka radiates calm—a harmony of strength and stillness defined by her groundedness, endurance, and flexibility.

Euphorbia stapelioides ‘Variegated’ is revered for its sculptural, serpentine stems and desert-born endurance. Native to the arid landscapes of southern Africa, it flourishes in bright light and well-draining soil. Its marbled green-and-cream skin catches the sun with a soft shimmer, giving the illusion of motion even in stillness. “Draka” feels less like a plant and more like a living sculpture—anchored yet fluid, fierce yet graceful—the calm counterpoint to her fiery sibling.
