Overview
Meet the Astrophytum caput-medusae, a rare and otherworldly succulent named after the Gorgon Medusa from Greek mythology. Unlike traditional round cacti, this extraordinary plant features a thick, tuberous root system that gives rise to dozens of silvery-green, snake-like stems covered in tiny white scales and fuzzy areoles. Its eerie yet elegant appearance makes it a standout collector's item, perfect for adding a touch of mythical intrigue to your succulent collection or modern living space.
Key Features
• Mythical Aesthetic: Distinctive snake-like stems radiate from a robust, carrot-shaped caudex, mimicking Medusa's serpentine hair for a truly unique visual appeal.
• Silvery Texture: Covered in fine white scales and soft fuzzy areoles, the stems create a luminous, almost ethereal look that catches light beautifully.
• Drought-Tolerant: Its large, water-storing caudex and fleshy stems allow it to thrive in dry conditions, making it low-maintenance for busy plant parents.
• Compact Size: Ideal for small pots, shelves, or terrariums without overwhelming your space.
Growing Tips:
• Place in bright, indirect sunlight; avoid prolonged direct harsh sun
• Use well-draining cactus soil and a pot with drainage holes
• Water sparingly; allow soil to dry completely between watering
• Protect from frost and excessive humidity
• Suitable for indoor display, balconies, patios, or small outdoor gardens
Why Choose This Variety?
Astrophytum caput-medusae is more than a plant—it's a statement piece. Whether you're looking to elevate your indoor jungle, create a striking focal point on your patio, or gift a truly unforgettable plant to a fellow enthusiast, 'Medusa' delivers unmatched visual impact and easy care. Unlike common succulents, it grows slowly, ensuring its unique shape and character evolve gracefully over years, making it a long-term investment in your plant journey.
