Endemic to South Africa, Euphorbia susannae thrives in rocky open plains or sheltered in the shade of taller brush. Its clusters of circular stems often branch to form a half-sphere, giving the whole plant a knobby globe look. In the wild, these plants are sometimes cryptic, meaning most of the plant lives entirely underground with only the tips of its stems pushing through the sandy surface.
