The Euphorbia obesa, also known as the Crested Baseball Plant, is a unique and captivating succulent native to South Africa. It is an evergreen plant that can reach up to 10 cm in height and 8 cm in diameter, with a globular shape that resembles a baseball. Its green stem is covered with raised ridges that give it its distinctive crested appearance. The leaves of the Euphorbia obesa are small and round, measuring about 2 cm in diameter. They are usually light green in color but can sometimes have yellow or pinkish hues. The leaves grow densely around the stem and form a rosette pattern at the top of the plant. The flowers of this succulent are small and inconspicuous, growing directly from the stem. They are typically white or yellow in color and bloom during springtime. In terms of care requirements, the Euphorbia obesa prefers warm temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). It should be planted in well-draining soil and watered only when the soil has completely dried out. This succulent should be placed in bright indirect sunlight for optimal growth and flowering potential. This species has been cultivated since the late 19th century when it was first discovered by botanists traveling through South Africa's Eastern Cape province. Since then, it has become increasingly popular among gardeners due to its attractive appearance and easy care requirements. Today, it is widely available for purchase online or at local nurseries across many parts of the world!
