CROWN OF THORN

Light: ☀️ Thrives in bright, direct sunlight. The more sun it gets, the better it will bloom. A sunny windowsill is ideal.

Water: 💧 Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry. Be careful not to overwater — it's drought-tolerant and prefers slightly dry soil between waterings. Ensure the pot has good drainage.

Soil: 🌱 Prefers well-draining soil, such as cactus or succulent mix. It doesn't like sitting in moist soil for too long.

Temperature: 🌡️ Prefers warm temperatures between 65–95°F (18–35°C). Avoid temperatures below 50°F (10°C), as it can damage the plant.

Humidity: 💦 Tolerates dry air well, making it ideal for indoor spaces. No extra humidity is needed.

Fertilizer: 🌼 Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer every 6–8 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing in the winter.

Pruning: ✂️ Prune after the blooming period to remove spent flowers and shape the plant. You can also trim back the branches to maintain a compact size.

Growth Habit: 🌿 A small, spiny shrub with thick, fleshy stems and colorful, tiny flowers surrounded by colorful bracts. It can grow up to 3 feet tall and wide, with a bushy, spreading habit.
