Euphorbia obesa SELECTED brown marks 2082

The Euphorbia obesa, often called the baseball plant, is a true geometric marvel. This compact, globe-shaped succulent resembles a perfectly symmetrical green ball with vertical ridges that form natural segment lines. Its smooth, waxy surface displays varying shades of grayish-green to deep olive, often accented by purple or reddish markings in strong light. Its sculptural form makes it an irresistible focal point in any plant collection.

Native to South Africa, Euphorbia obesa is highly prized for its minimalist aesthetic and rare form. It grows slowly, maintaining its tidy spherical shape as it matures. Although it may look like a cactus, it's a succulent with its own unique personality. Male and female plants exist separately, and when mature, they may produce tiny, star-like flowers at the top. These blooms are subtle, but add to the plant’s alien-like charm.
