If you have any Euphorbia meloformis...

Post by Julie »

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! :(

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.
