HAWORTHIA AND SUCCULENT AUCTION



This blog is dedicated to plants from desert regions around the world as well as plants that have adapted to withstand arid conditions, but do not occur in real deserts. Many of the plants are found in arid semi-desert regions. There will be a greater emphasis on succulent plants, but others will also be included. This blog deals with desert plants of the Americas, Africa, Arabia and others. We are situated in South Africa and South African plants are likely to feature more dominantly. The pictures taken are from our private botanical desert garden at Leopoort near Oudtshoorn, from plants in nature, as well as other collections.

Euphorbia decepta


Euphorbia decepta is an interesting and very attractive small Euphorbia species. The globose body protrudes mainly above the ground. The short little fingers and general appearance of this Euphorbia species is shared by some other Great Karoo Euphorbias, e.g.: Euphorbia crassipes, Euphorbia suppressa and some undescribed ones.

The distribution area of Euphorbia decepta is in the south eastern Great Karoo.

Propagation is from seed.
