Crown of Thorns

Plant Care Tips & Tricks

Crown of Thorns

Euphorbia Milii, aka Crown of Thorns is a beautiful variety of succulent. The vibrant green leaves and showy, reddish-pink bracts are a perfect contrast to the plant's spiny stems. Just like other succulents, this plant can store water and is therefore very forgiving in terms of care requirements.

Lighting: High light plants require full sunlight to assume their full potential. They need at least 6 hours of direct, bright light a day. The brightest spot in your home is the best place to put them.

Irrigation: Allow the soil to mostly dry between thorough irrigations.

Humidity: Crown of Thorns doesn't require added humidity. They prefer a dry environment.

Fertilizer: Once a month during spring and summer. Use a balanced fertilizer and follow package recommendations.
