You will receive (One) 1 cutting (4"-6") Crown of thorns (Euphorbia Milii) originally grew in Madagascar. This succulent shrub holds multiple stems and dark green leaves. Thorns cover the branches. However, they feel relatively soft when touched making them not too difficult to work with. The Crown of Thorns plant started to become popular during the Victorian era. Euphorbia Milii has several common names including: Crown of Thorns Christ plant Christ thorn A recent great deal of cultivar development and hybridization took great interest on the crown of thorns. It resulted to a tremendous amount of choice in flower color and plant blossom size. Apart from being an evergreen plant, Euphorbia Milli can also resist drought. It produces woody, succulent stems up to three feet high. The thorns cover the stems randomly and measure up to an inch long. The bright green leaf bracts grow randomly and slightly sparse. They appear mostly on newer stems and fall away from the older stems. This means you can only find leaves on the youngest and newest portions of the plant. Blooms appear mostly throughout the spring and late into the summer. However, in ideal conditions, the plant can produce flowers year-round Although crown of thorns belongs to the species of Euphorbia succulent plants, it can only store a limited amount of water using its stems. The plant also takes in water through the leaves, so misting the plant on a daily basis may help. In fact, spraying with a weak saline solution works great because this plant does well at the seaside in full sun. The plant needs minimal nourishment but does respond to slow-release fertilizer, and it does very well in poor but well-drained soil. However, a special cactus soil mix would be best. Apart from being easy to grow, they look great and even stand out from a bunch of potted plants.
