The crown of thorns kept at home blooms abundantly in winter, and the neighbors praised it when they saw it

We're about to enter October, and time really flies. Basically, by October many cities have already entered autumn, and the weather is gradually getting cooler. Have you got a favorite plant at home?

Today Huahua wants to introduce a plant. Huahua came across this plant while browsing websites recently and became deeply interested in it, so I immediately asked the big plant-growing expert at the company, who explained how to grow it, and now I'll share it with everyone.

This plant is: the crown of thorns (Euphorbia milii).

Many people may not know much about the crown of thorns. It's a plant very suitable for placing at home as a decorative accent, and its flowering season falls in the two seasons of winter and spring, so it's perfect for friends to grow right now. So how exactly should the crown of thorns be grown?

Temperature

Since the flowering season of the crown of thorns is in winter, what everyone cares about is certainly what temperature needs to be reached. Actually it's very simple: the crown of thorns is suited to growing at temperatures of 10-15°C. If we want it to bloom throughout the whole winter, just keep the temperature above 15°C!

If the temperature is below 10°C, the crown of thorns may temporarily stop growing and won't bloom either, so everyone should still pay attention to keeping it warm.

Watering

Because it's in its flowering season, the crown of thorns needs water very much. Basically, make sure to water it once every two or three days. When watering, don't give too much either, otherwise waterlogging will occur, and combined with insufficient winter sunlight, water evaporates rather slowly, so everyone should pay attention to controlling the water and the amount.

Light

Light is also a very important factor. Actually, no matter what plant it is, light is indispensable. In winter, it's best to place the crown of thorns in a place with good ventilation and light, so it can absorb sufficient light and carry out photosynthesis. If the light is adequate, it will also make the crown of thorns bloom more in winter, with even brighter colors!

On the contrary, if the crown of thorns doesn't get sufficient light, the color of its blooms will become rather dull, the color won't be bright enough and the number of blooms will be small. If the crown of thorns is kept in a dim environment with insufficient light for a long time, not only will it fail to bloom, but its leaves will also drop, and eventually it will die.

Fertilizer

The crown of thorns doesn't much like fertilizer. When it's blooming in winter, you can apply a relatively dilute liquid fertilizer once every half month. When fertilizing, remember not to use raw fertilizer or fertilizer that is too highly concentrated, as it will very easily burn and damage the roots of the crown of thorns.

Alright, that's what Huahua has to tell everyone about how to grow the crown of thorns. Has everyone learned it?
