Succulent Euphorbia Lactea 'Mermaid Tail'

Succulent Euphorbia Lactea 'Mermaid Tail'

Botanical Name: Crested Senecio Vitalis

Common Names: Mermaid succulent, Euphorbia lactea Cristata

Description: The Euphorbia Lactea 'Mermaid Tail' is a rare and enchanting succulent that looks like it swam straight out of a fantasy world! 

Its unique, crested shape features fused stems at the base that fan out into a wavy, textured top, perfectly mimicking the graceful movement of a mermaid’s tail. With its mesmerizing mix of green, blue, and sometimes pinkish hues, this plant is a true statement piece for any collection.

Despite its magical appearance, the Mermaid Tail succulent is surprisingly easy to care for. It thrives in bright, indirect light and can even be gradually introduced to full sun. Like most succulents, it prefers to stay on the drier side—water sparingly, allowing the soil to fully dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. This plant is also drought-tolerant, making it a great choice for forgetful plant parents!

Whether displayed as a centerpiece or added to a succulent arrangement, the Mermaid Tail is sure to bring an ocean of charm to any space!
