Check out the size of this plant, already busting out of a 3 gallon pot Botanical Name — Euphorbia inermis Common Name — Medusa’s Head or Green Crown Plant Family — Euphorbiaceae Take One Home Background Euphorbia inermis is native to the eastern Cape of South Africa. It is a small geophytic species, both a caudiciform and medusoid Euphorbia. It has many branches that radiate from a central stem which resembles a spiral when viewed from above. Growth Requirements Sun Euphorbia plants do best in full sun, at least 5 to 8 hours a day. Avoid intense afternoon sun. Grow outdoors in light shade or indoors in a sunny window with southern exposure and direct sun. Temperature/ Humidity Euphorbia inermis prefer warm temperatures in the 70s and 80s. It can become stressed if left in conditions of extreme temperatures or intense sun. These plants are not cold hardy, if grown outdoors migrate these plants to a sunny spot indoors when night time temperatures drop below 55 ºF. Water Native to arid and sub-tropical climates Euphorbia inermis are drought tolerant plants. Their soil should be allowed to dry out entirely before watering thoroughly. Water less in the dormant months when it's resting. About the only way to kill this plant is by over watering especially in winter. Soil/Roots Euphorbia inermis grow best in a fast draining soil mix. Use cacti or succulent soil, or amend potting soil with sand or pumice up to 50% to improve drainage. The Caudex is a tuberose root stock which is an underground water-storage organ so it is very resistant to drought. Flowering In optimal conditions, the plant will flower in spring and summer. Each branch crown will be covered with fragrant, pure white or yellow flowers. Fertilization These plants do not require fertilizer though it can be added to give container grown plants a boost or to supplement poor soil. Apply a water-soluble, balanced fertilizer monthly, diluted at half strength. Propagation
