Unlike many other Euphorbia species, this particular succulent has no thorns.
Euphorbia pseudoglobosa, also called False Globose Spurge, is an attractive succulent plant with an unusual appearance. It is native to South Africa and is characterised by its spherical to elongated stems that form low, dense clumps up to 20 cm tall.
The stems of Euphorbia pseudoglobosa are green to grey-green with 5 to 6 ribs and grow up to 3 cm in diameter and 10 cm long. They are segmented and, if broken or damaged, ooze a white latex rubber that can irritate the skin. If handled carefully, there is nothing to worry about, and if the rubber comes into contact with it, it is enough to wash the affected area as quickly as possible.
he individual small flowers of this mite are unisexual and yellow. They appear at the tip of the cuttings.
When placed in a bright location with direct sunlight, the stems take on a tinge of yellow-orange colour. It is a robust succulent that can be mistaken for a cactus by the less experienced grower. Our customers like it for its atypical stem shapes and bizarre appearance.
