The baseball plant is one of the coolest-looking plants you will ever see! It is shaped exactly like a round, green ball with ridges that look just like the stitching on a real baseball. It comes from the dry, rocky hills of South Africa.
- The baseball plant grows very, very slowly, sometimes taking many years to get as big as your fist.
- It is actually not a cactus at all, but a type of plant called a euphorbia.
- The baseball plant has become very rare in the wild, so there are now laws in South Africa to protect it.
- Most baseball plants that people buy today are grown in special nurseries!
