Where it grows
Euphorbia obesa is endemic to a small area of the Great Karoo near Graaff-Reinet, in the Eastern Cape of South Africa.
Special features
This Euphorbia obesa is the highly sought after crested form. Instead of the well known globose shape of the typical plant, the crested form has flattened, wavy stems. It does tend to produce a few normal stems.
Care Guide
This Euphorbia is not a fussy plant and reasonably easy to care for. Due to the fact that it originates from the Karoo, this species prefers plenty of light and grows well when given either full morning sun or when grown under 40% shade cloth. It needs to be kept in a gritty soil to ensure good drainage, as it is prone to root rot if kept wet. It should get plenty of water during the warmer months of the year, but should not get any water during winter, as it is dormant during this time.
Growing season
Spring and summer.
Propagation
Seeds and cuttings.
