A 5" Potted Crown of Thorns in a cream/white pot or cement pot.
Crown of thorns, also commonly known by its scientific name Euphorbia milii, is a pretty but thorny succulent tropical shrub. One of its typical characteristics is that it can bloom in many colors with thick, bright green leaves almost year-round, even indoors. This slow-growing plant can reach 3 to 6 feet tall outdoors or 2 feet as a houseplant.
How to care for your new Crown of Thorns plant:
SUNLIGHT: As with most flowering plants, the better the sun exposure, the more blooms you will get. Euphorbia milii needs direct sunlight, and it will reliably bloom if it receives at least three to four hours of bright sunlight daily.
WATER: Since it is a succulent, crown of thorns is very forgiving about water. Water when the soil feels dry about 1 inch below the surface. Water thoroughly and allow any excess to drain off. Do not let your plant sit in water or wet soil for prolonged periods, or the roots will rot.
HUMIDITY/TEMPERATURE: Crown of thorns likes the same room temperature that people enjoy. Temperature-wise, a comfortable 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit is suitable. At least half a day of sunlight is a major requirement for crown of thorns.
- Note: Crown of Thorns is toxic to both pets and humans when ingested.
- Note: Plants and planters may vary. The pictures shown are examples of the style.
