Crown of Thorns is different from the rest, blooming specifically in winter, and its blooms are even better than peonies.
Today Huahua wants to introduce a plant to everyone. Huahua came across this plant recently while browsing websites and became deeply interested in it, so I immediately asked the big plant-growing expert at the company, had the expert explain how to grow it, and now I'm here to share it with you.
This plant is: Crown of Thorns (Euphorbia milii).
Many people may not know much about Crown of Thorns. Crown of Thorns is a plant that is very suitable for placing at home as an accent and decoration, and its flowering seasons are winter and spring, so it is very suitable for everyone to grow right now. So how exactly should Crown of Thorns be grown?
Temperature
Because Crown of Thorns blooms in winter, what everyone pays attention to is definitely what temperature needs to be reached. Actually it is very simple: the suitable growing temperature for Crown of Thorns is 10-15°C. If we want Crown of Thorns to bloom throughout the whole winter, just keep the temperature above 15°C.
If the temperature is below 10°C, Crown of Thorns may temporarily stop growing and will not bloom, so everyone should still pay attention to keeping it warm.
Watering
Because it is in its flowering season, Crown of Thorns needs water very much. Basically, make sure to water Crown of Thorns once every two or three days. When watering, do not water too much either, otherwise waterlogging will occur, and combined with insufficient sunlight in winter and slower water evaporation, 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 is best to place Crown of Thorns in a ventilated place with good light, so that Crown of Thorns can absorb sufficient light and carry out photosynthesis. If the light is appropriate, it will also make Crown of Thorns bloom more in winter, with even brighter colors.
On the contrary, if Crown of Thorns cannot get sufficient light, the color of the flowers it produces will become rather dull, the color will not be bright enough, and the number of flowers will not be many either. If Crown of Thorns is kept for a long time in an environment with insufficient light and darkness, it will not only fail to bloom, but will also drop its leaves, and eventually die.
Fertilizer
Crown of Thorns does not particularly like fertilizer. When it blooms in winter, you can apply a relatively dilute liquid fertilizer to Crown of Thorns once every half month. When fertilizing, remember not to use raw fertilizer or fertilizer with too high a concentration, as it can very easily burn and damage the roots of Crown of Thorns.
Alright, the above is what Huahua has told everyone about how to grow Crown of Thorns. Has everyone learned it?
