Crown of Thorns, one of the oldest houseplants because of its indestructible nature and its ability to adapt to a home environment. Today, the blooms are bigger and better than ever and flower year-round with a few simple instructions for care.

I live in the southern Philippines and this thing is so common we see a lot of it just growing on the sides of roads. Every one and their mother has at least 1 pot in their home. Back then, I used to collect its thorns for some reason.

InCREDIBLY hard to kill! I was able to bring mine back from some pretty severe root rot, and it's still alive and kicking. I came here to learn how to grow it out more. Great vid👍🏽

My great grandparents brought this home from Italy YEARS ago. My mom has kept it alive after they passed away. The plant is now at least a hundred years old ❤I plant to keep it after my mom passes. I hope to pass it down for generations ❤

"very difficult to kill" - well.. I killed mine! we had a 20-30 yr old plant at work, and it was flowering and then just dried up. The branches are brittle and break off in places, the leaves dried up. I cut it back as much as I could (It had a 4 ft diameter, twisty branches all over) and back to paying attention to watering. Any chance it may survive?

@bobkarney5939 5 жыл бұрын

how long after you cut the top off that plant would the bottom half shoot

@LogeesPlants 5 жыл бұрын

Takes at least a month or so.

Give it as much direct sun light as you can. It will come back into flower.

@cynthianity 7 жыл бұрын

Thank you. Another question please, what type of fertiliser should I use and how often? Do I need to prune the lower part leaves?

@LogeesPlants 7 жыл бұрын

They are not heavy feeders so once a week with a reduced amount from the container instructions during the active growing season which is summer. That would be half strength or ¼ strength. Discontinue in winter when growth has stopped and temperatures are cooler. You can prune if need to keep the plant shapely. This is best done in spring when they start to grow vigorously.

You can prune it back a little bit to promote more branching a bushier specimen.

Mine keeps dropping leaves but still putting out new flowers. I think I need to lay off the watering.

@LogeesPlants 5 жыл бұрын

Are you allowing the plant to dry down completely between waterings?

@stewiepoohie2979 5 жыл бұрын

No. I reported it into terra-cotta when I brought it home 2 months ago, and have bottom watered it twice after that. I’m going to keep it in the fullest sun I can and refrain from any watering until truly dry!!! Thank you for the great video!!
