If you want to grow a Crown of Thorns well and have it bloom in all four seasons, you need to do a good job with temperature, light and water!
Temperature
Crown of Thorns has a very strong ability to adapt to its environment and is not afraid of heat or strong light, but the suitable growing temperature is 18 to 25 degrees, and keeping the temperature at 15 to 20 degrees can make it bloom all year round, with red flowers covering the branches, beautiful and vivid!
Light
Crown of Thorns is not afraid of strong light. Even in summer, without shading it can still grow vigorously, and only by receiving enough light can it produce more flowers, and it will also make the flowers more vivid, extend the flowering period, and improve its ornamental value; in addition, it will also improve the plant's resistance, making it less prone to pests and diseases!
If there is little light, it will clearly grow poorly, and may even produce few or no flowers, so light plays a crucial role in the growth of Crown of Thorns!
Water
Crown of Thorns is relatively drought-tolerant, so definitely do not water too frequently, and each time you water, make sure to water thoroughly. Do not water only halfway, and do not let water accumulate. Loosen the soil promptly after each watering to prevent compaction and water accumulation!
Although in the process of growing flowers it is said that three parts care and seven parts pruning are needed, when caring for Crown of Thorns, do not prune too frequently. Just cut off diseased branches and old branches, because Crown of Thorns grows very slowly, growing only about ten centimeters per year, so it cannot be pruned like ordinary flowers and plants!
Master these three points, and Crown of Thorns will bloom all year round, with red flowers covering the branches, healthy and disease-free!
