Euphorbia mahabobokensis seeds
Discover the extraordinary Euphorbia mahabobokensis seeds, a rare and endangered succulent native to the subtropical dry forests and shrublands of southern Madagascar 24. Described by Werner Rauh in 1995, this species is named after the village of Mahaboboka between Toloara and Fianarantsoa 4. It is threatened by habitat loss, making cultivation from seeds an excellent way to help preserve this unique species 2. The plant grows as a shrubby caduciform root succulent, developing a tuberous caudex that can reach up to 12 cm in diameter and a height of 50 cm 41. Its small, spineless stems arise from the caudex and are topped with ovate leaves crowded around the stem tips, often with pinkish petioles 68. Mature plants produce small, brownish-green flowers (cyathia), adding to their exotic appeal 24.
Ideal for succulent enthusiasts, caudex collectors, and bonsai artists, Euphorbia mahabobokensis is drought-tolerant and thrives in well-draining soil with minimal watering 61. It prefers full sun to partial shade and is hardy in USDA zones 9b-11 26. Our seeds are carefully sourced for high viability and come with a detailed germination guide. For best results, sow seeds at 20°C–25°C (68°F–77°F) in well-draining, sandy soil, and maintain consistent moisture during the 7–14 day germination period 9.
