Euphorbia gymnocalycioides seeds
Discover the extraordinary Euphorbia gymnocalycioides seeds, a rare and captivating succulent native to the Sidamo province of southern Ethiopia12. This plant is a prime example of convergent evolution, closely resembling the cactus genus Gymnocalycium in appearance but belonging to the Euphorbia family12. Its globular to cylindrical stem, which can grow up to 12 cm tall and 10 cm wide, features prominent spiral tubercles and a bluish-green hue that may develop purplish tones in full sun12. This slow-growing species is highly sought after by collectors for its unique, knobby appearance and low-maintenance care requirements19.
Ideal for succulent enthusiasts and caudex collectors, Euphorbia gymnocalycioides thrives in well-draining soil and requires minimal watering9. It prefers full sun to light shade and should be protected from frost19. The plant produces small, light brown flowers in the summer, adding to its exotic appeal14. However, it is important to handle with care due to its toxic latex sap, which can cause skin and eye irritation16.
Each seed order includes a detailed germination and care guide to ensure successful cultivation. Whether you’re an experienced gardener or a beginner, this rare succulent is a rewarding addition to any collection9.
