Euphorbia Meloformis
Euphorbia meloformis, affectionately known as the Melon Spurge, is a charming and distinctive succulent that bears a striking resemblance to a miniature melon. This South African native is a favorite among collectors for its unique form, subtle beauty, and ease of care.

Melon-like Shape: As its common name suggests, this Euphorbia boasts a spherical or slightly elongated stem that resembles a small melon. Its shape is further accentuated by 8 to 12 prominent ribs that run vertically along its surface.
Subtle Coloration: The stem typically displays a soft green hue, often adorned with subtle purplish-brown markings that add to its visual interest.
Cyathia: During its flowering season, this Euphorbia produces small, yellow cyathia (a type of inflorescence unique to Euphorbias) that emerge from the ribs near the top of the plant.
Care and Cultivation:
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light.
Water: Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
Soil: Use a well-draining soil mix specifically formulated for succulents or cacti.
