About Aeonium Medusa
Aeonium Medusa is one of the most distinctive succulents in the Crassulaceae family. Its origin is in Canary Islands and North Africa. It is characterized by terminal rosettes on long stalks, an evolutionary adaptation that makes it a unique piece in the world of succulents.
At Succulentae we grow every Aeonium Medusa directly in our nursery in southeastern Spain, in conditions of intense sun, low humidity and mineral substrate that replicate its natural habitat. That's why you receive a robust plant, with marked natural color and hardened against sun and drought.
