{"product_id":"euphorbia-hamata","title":"Euphorbia hamata","description":"\u003cp\u003eEuphorbia hamata is an attractive South African species that should be more widely distributed in cultivation, having multiple characteristics that make it a standout plant. Most notably, this species produces an above-ground caudex. From this thick tuberous trunk, bright green flexible stems emerge upright before branching, lined with jagged points for which this species gets its name (hamata is Latin for hook-shaped). The resulting specimens resemble miniature trees with thick green canopies, as they emerge from rock cracks in the mining town of Rosh Pinah in Namibia, where many famous species like Sarcocaulon peniculinum call home. Although this species has a reputation for being difficult, we treat it like other plants from this region, with an active season mostly in the winter but capable of growing all year if given moisture in the evening or when protected from intense heat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rare Plant Catalog","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52136545911064,"sku":null,"price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0912\/1175\/9896\/files\/euphorbiahamata.png?v=1780531351","url":"https:\/\/rareplantcatalog.com\/products\/euphorbia-hamata","provider":"Rare Plant Catalog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
