It's not so cold-hardy as E.obesa.
Mine has been looking pale for a couple of days and this morning it had developed quite a lot of browny damage on the side facing the window.
Nobody else seems to mind the cold, even the smallest forby is unharmed.
So, look out for your mellies!

Re: If you have any Euphorbia meloformis...
Hehe, thanks Phil and Mike.
Let's see if she is OK or not. I think the problem was that I closed the curtains last night, which I haven't done recently, and they all got colder than normal.
It occurred to me the other day she was looking a bit pale, but I never thought it could be the cold. They have all been dry apart from when I Provado'd them a couple of months ago.
She's been rehomed to the chest of drawers. Poor old Mel, mum neglected her! She is quite firm and not soft, so that's a good sign.
