I did buy this, thank you Lowe’s. I’m much more a cactus grower than euphorbia so have a few questions.
First, is it actually an obesa? Do you need a flower to ID these?
Ive seen crested obesa online but don’t see any dicots in a quick Google search. How uncommon ar dicots for these?
Finally, does anyone have any suggestions on potting given it’s going into a tent? I have plenty of soil ingredients to work from. Is 10% castings, 10% charcoal, 20% granite chips, 60% pumice too lean? I was thinking to put it into a ~1 cup glazed ceramic bowl shaped pot.

It’s definitely not true species E. obesa, I’ve seen these at Home Depot being sold by Altman. It’s likely a hybrid of obesa and infausta, but it seems that there’s no proper labeling with these, so hard to know for sure. They have a tendency to offset quite a bit, cool that yours is dichotomizing. For soil I’d say your best bet is to use a similar ratio that you use for most cacti in your particular growing conditions, they seem to respond very similarly in terms of watering frequency.
