Euphorbia obesa
Please note: Every plant will vary in size, color and shape from the one pictured. Plant ships bare root. Soil included according to plant size.
Euphorbia obesa is a rare and sought-after euphorbia species that will grow well indoors. As it matures, the ball-like shape will stretch to oblong and harden along the ridge lines. Mature obesa are coveted for their unique appearance and markings. Though fairly common in cultivation, unsustainable harvesting has pushed this species to near extinction. As a result, legislation has been enacted to protect the remaining population. Nursery and botanic gardens have been growing this species en masse to mitigate the amount of harvesting of this plant in the wild and further protect native plants. We only source plants from growers who have collected seeds legally and adhere to CITES regulations.
