Euphorbia globosa is named for the spherical heads that stack on top of each other to form a mass of little green globes. From the summer rainfall areas of the Succulent Karoo, this species grows almost entirely buried in the wild, with only the newest heads pushing out of the hard-packed soil. In cultivation, plants have a tendency to elongate, even in strong light. To keep growth as round as possible they need the brightest conditions available and only just enough water to sustain them. With age, the lower heads harden off and take on a grey bark, giving the plant a slightly caudiciform look. Once extremely rare in collections, E. globosa is now more widely propagated and thankfully easier to come by, though well-grown specimens still make a show-stopping plant.
