Flower Color: This spurge produces small, indistinguishable green and yellow flowers at the top of the plant in summer. Interestingly, the plants are either male or female.

Minimum temperature: Euphorbia obesa can withstand temperatures as low as 10°C, but prefers warmer conditions for optimal growth.

Growth Rate: This plant is slow growing and can take several years to reach its maximum size, which is about 20 cm in height and diameter.
