Euphorbia Obesa

Euphorbia obesa is a small succulent with a ball-shaped, usually solitary stem that becomes cylindrical with age. The stem is grey-green and marked with horizontal red-brown or purple bands. It grows up to 8 inches (30 cm) tall, up to 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter, and almost always has eight slightly raised ribs. The tiny leaves fall off very soon after appearing. Male and female flowers are born on different plants. They are yellow and appear in summer on branched stalks at the top of the stem. Fruits are small 3-angled capsules.


Warning: As with all other Euphorbias, when a plant get damaged it exudes a thick white milky sap known as latex. This latex is poisonous and may irritate skin. Pay extreme attention not to get any in your eyes or mouth.
Cultivated plants must be handled carefully.
