Name: Melon Spurge,Variegated
Scientific Name: Euphorbia meloformis f. variegata
Family Name: Euphorbiaceae
Product Description:
Variegated Euphorbia meloformis is a striking, globular succulent with ribbed, melon‑like stems patterned in creamy yellow, soft green, and pale gray variegation. The plant forms a rounded, segmented body with shallow grooves and small, paired spines along each rib. As it matures, it may produce short, columnar offsets around the base, creating a sculptural cluster. Like other Euphorbias, it produces small cyathia (flowers) near the stem tips, typically yellow‑green. Its bold variegation and compact form make it a prized collector’s plant.
Origination: Horticultural variegated form; species native to South Africa
Historic Uses: Collector’s specimen, ornamental succulent
Height: 3–6 inches tall; slowly forms small clusters
Hardiness: USDA Zones 10–12 (very frost‑sensitive)
Flower Color: Yellow‑green cyathia
Other Names: Variegated Meloformis, Variegated Melon Spurge
Growing Conditions:
Grow in bright light to full sun for best variegation. Prefers very well‑draining, gritty soil and careful watering—allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Extremely sensitive to overwatering. Protect from frost and prolonged cold. Excellent for collectors, rock gardens, and sunny indoor displays where its ribbed, variegated form can be showcased.
Ships in 3" pots. You will receive a plant similar to the ones pictured, though size and fullness may vary. Please understand that shipped plants have bumpy rides. A few broken leaves or small stems are normal during shipping and are not considered damage. Broken stems can be rooted once the cut end dries to start new growth. Plants may arrive semi‑dormant, and in winter they may naturally drop a few leaves. If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it. Please contact us with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery. After 24 hours, plant care becomes the buyer’s responsibility, though we’re always happy to answer questions and help you succeed. We also add brief instructions on getting started when you open your box. We want our plant babies to have happy new homes! 🥰
Heat packs are available to purchase in our shop for cold-sensitive plants. Keep in mind some plants we carry are very tropical and even cold, not freezing, temperatures can kill them. 📌IF YOU EXPECT COLD WEATHER, PLEASE PURCHASE A HEAT PACK! 📌 These are necessary for winter shipping, so I sell them at cost. I won't refund or replace any frozen plants unless you buy one!
