🪐 Euphorbia obesa – The Baseball Plant

A Perfectly Round, Alien-Looking Succulent That’s Out of This World

✨ Overview

Euphorbia obesa, commonly known as the Baseball Plant, is a one-of-a-kind succulent native to South Africa. This unusual, nearly spherical plant has a striped, ribbed texture and smooth green surface that often takes on hints of purple, gray, or even red in bright light.

Its tidy, compact shape and perfect symmetry have made it a cult favorite among collectors of rare and architectural plants. It looks like something sculpted — or maybe something from another planet!

While it rarely blooms indoors, mature Euphorbia obesa plants can produce small, subtle flowers (called cyathia) at the top of the plant. But the real attraction is its shape and structure.

This easy-care succulent is ideal for minimalists, desert plant lovers, or anyone drawn to geometric design and low-maintenance beauty.

🪴 Plant Care Guide

Note: Euphorbia obesa is endangered in the wild due to overcollection and habitat loss — always source from ethical growers.

✂️ Propagation Tips

Propagation is difficult — Euphorbia obesa doesn’t offset and must be grown from seed. It’s dioecious, meaning male and female flowers grow on separate plants.
