Description:

Euphorbia obesa is a slow-growing, easy-care succulent with a truly unique look—often described as resembling a round, green-and-brown zebra-striped egg or a mini football. Its name, "obesa," comes from the Latin word for "plump," and it perfectly suits this plant’s chubby, smooth, and spineless body.

Typically olive-green with subtle pale markings, Euphorbia obesa is loved for its quirky shape and texture rather than its flowers, which are small, greenish-yellow, and appear in summer. This plant is incredibly low-maintenance and thrives in bright, dry conditions similar to its native South African habitat.

Perfect for busy plant lovers or collectors looking for something a little different, Euphorbia obesa brings a touch of character and charm to any windowsill, shelf, or succulent arrangement.

Please note: The image is representative, the plant may vary slightly since each plant is unique.

Care Guide

Light
Thrive in full sun or bright indirect light. They require at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight daily to grow optimally. High levels of light are needed to flower and for good spine development. Can be sunburned if moved from shade into full sun too quickly. If grown indoors, place them near a south or west-facing window where they can receive plenty of light.

Water
Water every 2–3 weeks in spring and summer, adjusting based on temperature and humidity. In the cooler months, water sparingly, about once every 4–6 weeks. Always allow the soil to dry completely between waterings and avoid letting the plant sit in water to prevent overwatering and root rot.

Soil
Cactus and succulent potting mix.
