Euphorbia obesa – the perfect little rarity for collectors
Euphorbia obesa, often affectionately called „Baseball Euphorbia“, is an unusual succulent with a spherical body and a fine, segmented pattern. Its shape is reminiscent of a small ball – perfectly proportioned, minimalist and decorative.
A true botanical specialty, it originates from South Africa and is prized for its unusual growth and slow, stable development. Obesa is ideal for bright window sills, succulent collections or minimalist rooms. However, beware of its white spurge: the sap is highly irritating.
As a gift for plant lovers, it is also a small highlight that immediately catches the eye.
