The variegated shape of this wonderful succulent specimen has yellowish or lighter shades due to the lack of chlorophyll in the epidermis. These shades will always be different in different specimens, thus making each of them unique. In the normal form E. flanaganii is a slow-growing succulent plant. Numerous serpentine, cylindrical and tapered branches emerge from the central caudiciform stem, similar to the hair of Medusa, from which the nickname “Medusa plant” derives. Its stems are entirely covered with small protuberances with white dots, caused by the fall of the leaves, which stand out against the green of the stem.
