Know before you buy
A bare root plant arrives without soil or a pot, with its roots exposed. You will need to prepare a well-draining succulent potting mix and a container with drainage holes to plant it immediately upon arrival.
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate several hours of direct sun. A south or west-facing window is usually the best spot to ensure it maintains its signature geometric shape.
No, the Euphorbia Obessa is not pet-safe. Like many plants in the Euphorbia genus, it contains a milky sap that can be irritating to the skin and toxic if ingested by pets.
As a succulent, it prefers to dry out completely between waterings. During the growing season, water sparingly only when the soil is bone dry, and reduce watering significantly during the winter months.
No, this succulent prefers low humidity environments. It is well-suited for standard indoor conditions and does not require misting or a humidifier.
