Euphorbia Milli Db – Size:50Cm

Growing Care From spring through late fall, water the crown of

thorns plant when the soil is dry at a depth of about an inch,

which is about the length of your finger to the first knuckle.

Water the plant by flooding the pot with water. After all of the

excess water has drained through, empty the saucer under the

pot so that the roots aren’t left sitting in water. In winter, allow

the soil to dry to a depth of 2 or 3 inches (5-7.5 cm.) before

watering. Feed the plant with a liquid houseplant fertilizer.

Water the plant with the fertilizer every two weeks in spring,

summer and fall. In winter, dilute the fertilizer to half strength

and use it monthly. Repot the plant every two years in late

winter or early spring. Crown of thorns needs a potting soi

l that drains quickly. A mix designed for cacti and succulents

is ideal. Use a pot that is large enough to accommodate the

roots comfortably. Remove as much of the old potting soil as

possible without damaging the roots. As potting soil ages,

it loses its ability to manage water effectively, and this can

lead to root rot and other problems. Wear gloves when working

with crown of thorns. The plant is poisonous if eaten and the

sap causes skin irritations. Crown of thorns is also poisonous

to pets and should be kept out of their reach. its outdoor plants
