Euphorbia obesa

This species of Euphorbia is a must for any collection.

Euphorbia obesa or otherwise known as the baseball plant is native to South Africa and loves a good free draining soil mix. To help bring out the attractive colouring and markings, grow them in as much light as possible.

During the spring they produce clusters of small flowers on the top of the plant, these sometimes produce seeds that then roll down the side of the succulent and grow alongside the mother. The flowers have a sweet smell.
