2-5cm Euphorbia decepta

Euphorbia decepta, commonly known as "Green Ghost Jade Euphorbia", is a distinctive species in the Euphorbiaceae family endemic to the arid regions of South Africa. Its most captivating trait is its globular to ovoid caudex, which boasts a pale, ghostly green hue with subtle mottling, giving it an otherworldly "ghost jade" appearance. The caudex is smooth and fleshy, with a compact structure that stores water efficiently for arid conditions. From the top of this unique tuber emerge a few sparse, short stems that are rarely branched, maintaining the plant's minimalist and elegant silhouette, making it a standout in succulent collections.
