Euphorbia meloformis f. variegata

Introducing the Euphorbia meloformis f. variegata, a rare and captivating succulent that calls the arid landscapes of South Africa its home. This particular variety, with its variegated patterns, showcases an extraordinary blend of creamy yellows and deep greens, mimicking the appearance of a melon, which is how it earned its nickname, the 'Melon Spurge'. This plant forms a single, almost spherical stem that can grow up to 6 inches in height and diameter, making it a compact yet striking addition to any collection.

One of the most intriguing features of the Euphorbia meloformis f. variegata is its ability to produce small, inconspicuous flowers at the crown of the plant. These blooms may be easy to overlook, but they add an understated elegance to the plant's overall aesthetic. Despite its exotic appearance, this succulent is surprisingly low-maintenance, requiring minimal water and thriving in well-draining soil and bright, indirect light. It's perfectly suited for a sunny windowsill or a desert-themed terrarium.

As it matures, this Euphorbia will maintain its solitary, globe-like shape, occasionally producing offsets to form a small cluster. Its unique variegation and sculptural form make it a must-have for enthusiasts and collectors seeking to add an exotic touch to their indoor gardens. The Euphorbia meloformis f. variegata is not only a conversation starter but also a testament to the diverse and mesmerizing world of succulents.

Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grow in depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next, and display color, shape, and growth variation based on current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
