Crown of Thorns Plant

 

Botanical Name: Euphorbia milii

Crown of Thorns plant is one of the rare succulents capable of blooming almost year-round. It also happens to be one of the easiest to grow indoors, preferring the same warm conditions we do.

 

Bright-green leaves grow along its thick, thorny stems. Lower leaves naturally fall off as the plant ages -- and they won't grow back. If your plant gets too tall and leggy, you can prune it back by half its size in spring. This will cause it to branch out. New stems will grow from below where the pruning cuts were made, making this succulent bushy and full.
