Euphorbia Meloformis Variegated Super Healthy In 3 Inch Pot
❗LOOK!!❗Items cannot be shipped to CALIFORNIA or ARIZONA due to state import laws. Any orders from these states will be canceled. My apologies for this inconvenience. This is a listing for a Variegated Euphorbia Meloformis. It is very healthy and very easy to grow. I have been growing them for 4 years and have yet to loose one! They are planted in 3" short pots and fully rooted. Most are starting to produce pups already! Euphorbia meloformis has a rounded, melon-like shape, which is why it's often referred to as "Melon Spurge." It typically grows with well-defined ribs along its body. It produces small, yellowish flowers that can appear at the top of the plant. These flowers are quite small and may not be very noticeable. Like other Euphorbias, it exudes a milky sap when cut or damaged. This sap is toxic and can cause skin irritation or harm if ingested. Euphorbia meloformis thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. It can handle some direct sun but should be protected from the harshest midday rays. Water the plant sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, especially during its dormant winter period. Overwatering can cause root rot. Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Adding some sand or perlite can enhance drainage. This plant prefers warm temperatures and should be kept indoors if you live in a region with cold winters. It generally prefers temperatures between 60°F to 80°F (15°C to 27°C). You will receive a plant that is very similar to the plants pictured however they may have grown some or depending on the time of year, they could be semi-dormant. I have only grown plants in Florida and will send out anything I feel comfortable will grow here. It is up to you to know the conditions that these plants grow in the part of the country you reside. Ships in the 3.5” pots shown in the pictures. We put great care into packaging our plants but due to the nature of the items shipped we cannot guarantee that some leaves won’t be broken or fall off- It is normal to lose some depending on the variety (Sedum, Echeveria, Cotyledon, Graptopetalum, etc...). Many kinds of leaves will re-root and grow into a new plant. Some that do not are Cotyledon and Aeonium. Heat packs are available for purchase with your item to use if cold weather is expected at the time of shipment. (Link to Heat Pack: https://www.ebay.com/itm/146333255563 ) Keep in mind some plants we carry are very tropical and even cold, not freezing, temperatures can kill them. I will cancel any order I feel won't make it safely to its destination without freezing. 📌IF YOU EXPECT COLD WEATHER, PLEASE PURCHASE A HEAT PACK! 📌 I don't make any profit off of them because they are a necessary shipping item in winter. Basic care instructions are included with your order. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me for any extra advice you may require. We want you to be successful with our babies! And if you have any questions about this item or others, please message me and I will gladly answer them.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.
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!
