About Euphorbia Pseudoglobosa Green
Euphorbia Pseudoglobosa Green is one of the most distinctive succulents in the Euphorbiaceae family. Its origin is in mainly Africa and Madagascar. The most striking thing about this plant is convergent evolution with cacti: fleshy body with spines, a feature that defines its personality and sets it apart within its genus.
We grow Euphorbia Pseudoglobosa Green at Succulentae, in the heart of the Almería desert, where the dry Mediterranean climate replicates the ideal conditions for the plant to develop its compact form and best coloration. The result: more compact, better colored and more resilient plants than those grown in artificial greenhouses.
