Proper care is essential for your Euphorbia Obesa to thrive. Plant it in well-draining soil specifically formulated for cacti and succulents. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Provide bright, indirect sunlight for at least six hours a day. During the winter months, reduce watering frequency further. Fertilize lightly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced succulent fertilizer.
The Baseball Plant succulent is a slow-growing plant and does not require frequent repotting. Repot only when the plant becomes root-bound or the soil is depleted of nutrients. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to prevent overwatering. Handle the plant with care during repotting, as it can be sensitive to disturbance. With proper care, your Euphorbia Obesa Hybrid will thrive for many years, bringing joy and beauty to your home or garden.
