Hands down most cut and dry vid on propogating these beauties. Pun intended. *^^*. Thank you so much!
Excellent, very useful "how to"!! Thank you for showing the different ways to transplant, and informing on the conditions they do and don't like! I needed this 💖🙏
😊🙏
I have several plants from a friend who has passed away. The Crown of Thorns has only blossomed once in 10 years as I live in the shaded forest.
I'm bringing my plants in for the winter so came to UA-cam University to learn how to prune my very leggy and lopsided houseplant.
I'm so glad to learn from you that I can prune heavily without over-stressing myself or the plant. Bonus that propagation is so straight forward.
I was afraid to take risk with such a treasure.
Thank you!

Thank you as I will try with mine. So glad I found you..
Oh thanks this is very good video and lots of information on it’s care. We’ve had several days of rain, yesterday we had 4” of rain and my crown of thorn pot is soaked, sitting on the patio table. I will have to watch that the soil doesn’t stay wet, I don’t want to lose it as I’ve had her for 3 years and she’s 14” tall. Thank you!
That's a lot of rain! If the container has a plant saucer, be sure to empty any water in it. Hope it dries out soon.🤞
Tutorial tehnik juga👍👍👍
Very educative
Glad you like the video Priscilla, and thanks for your positive feedback.
👍👍👍eufhorbia super bagus" Bos ku
Very good information!
Thanks for watching!
Amazing and I'm also doing the same job and keep on feeding more about that. Good job keep it!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
Watching from the UK 🇯🇲🇬🇧🤗🥰
Great to have you!💕🙏😊
We're posting a follow-up crown of thorns video this weekend so please don't miss it.
Thank you. I just subscribed, but couldn’t choose the black bell. I wonder why.🤔
Thanks for subscribing Bianca, happy to have you.
Other persons have reported the same problem with the notification bell. But since you subscribed, you don't need to worry as the videos will appear whenever you open the UA-cam app and tap on the subscription tab.
Blessings💕
👍👍👍
Love the yellow plant, we can't find this in Belgium
Thanks for leaving a comment. Very good to know we have a viewer in Belgium👍😊
Great vid! Question, how about using an Orchid Pot with multiple holes up the sides also to assure good aeration and drainage? Thinking about a plastic pot with my addition of the holes. Will appreciate your response. Tx!
Great question. I've put holes in plastic pots for both anthuriums and orchids, but haven't tried it for crown of thorns. Unless you're using a heavy potting mix i don't think it's really necessary, but no harm in trying. Let me know how it works out.
Your video was very helpful thank you so much
You're very welcome. Thanks for your support 💕🙏
My plant has p
Only one stem. How can I get it to propagate for another plant? This is my first time with plants
❤
Love my CofT. I'm in USA Zone 9a. Mine is outside in a self waterinng pot with hot days and almost daily rain in summer. I check the bottom of the pot after rain and pour out the excess water. So far, all is good. Now I'm ready to take cuttings and start new plants... Question: I see you did not remove the flowers before inserting cutting in soil. Correct?
Sorry for this late response. You're correct. Normally I would remove flowers and excess leaves when sticking stem cuttings to roots. This helps the cutting to conserve moisture and energy. I seemed to have missed a few flowers in this case.😮
Maybe I was afraid of the thorns?😊
I just purchased this type of plant and love the pink blooms. Mine are still rather small but have these thick leaves but I cannot find thorns anywhere. Will they show up after these plants grow?
There is a QR code to scan for care info. I did take a photo of it but noting happened. I give up with scans as I have tried on many things and it is the same. I am in HOT Phoenix AZ so just wonder how our hot and dry climate may affect these. I have them in a south facing pergola and they are blooming. So they do get partial shade. But for winter do I need to cover them as we do get some cold nights down sometimes to 30F?
Your plant may be a thornless type (species) of crown of thorns. However, the thornless type likes the same hot, dry growing conditions as their thorned cousins. Definitely protect them from frost, either by moving them indoors in cold weather or covering them if it’s a brief frost.
You have a beautiful landscape. I have a street light by my house that throws light on my crown of thorns. Will they still bloom well?
Good question Jeremy. I don't have any direct experience with this, but don't think the street light will cause your crown of thorns to bloom any less, as they love lots of light.
What soil do you recommend because I’m needing to transplant, my Madagascar crown of thorns thank you for the help
A - The main problem when transplanting crown of thorns is stem rot, so its very important that the potting mix doesn’t retain too much water. Avoid using a heavy soil (e.g., clay) in the transplant media. A mixture of 2 parts free draining soil + 1 part sand + 1 part organic matter should be good. If you’re using a standard commercial potting mix, you can add up to 20% sand or perlite to improve drainage.
We’ll explained thanks, quick question ,will I cut the stem because its keep on growing one stem so tall now
Thanks for your question Mary Lou. Yes, cut taller stems if you want your crown of thorns to have a full shape. But try to cut just above a young side shoot as sometimes a cut stalk fails to send out a new shoot.
Thanks so much. One question. I have a crown of thorns plant that has been the same exact size for over a year now, it’s healthy and always in bloom but it never has any new growth, is there something wrong or is the pot maybe too small and needs to be upsized in order to get the plant larger?
Maybe it's a dwarf variety?
Healthy and blooming sounds good to me.😊
A suggestion - after the blooming season apply fertilizer high in nitrogen to boost growth.
What's the difference of height between the hybrid and other smaller version
The traditional varieties with smaller blooms can get quite tall and lanky. I've seen some 4 - 5 feet tall when grown in the ground! The hybrids are definitely better when growing in pots.
my crown of thrones blooms most of the year, but I would like to see more leaves. any ideas?
Good that you're having flowers Pat. But I agree that bare stalks are not attractive.
More water, fertilizer and shade will produce more leaves. You can adjust any of these, but in moderation, to see what will give the desired results.
If I cut the top of the crown of thorns plant will it grow back with one stem or two
Hi Marilyn, it varies quite a bit. I'd say you stand an equal chance of getting 0, 1, 2, or 3 shoots coming out below the cut. And many times the shoots appear 3 - 4 inches below the cut.
Hi I have done giant beauties of these flowers. I’m already i kill them if not fertilizing them now in the spring? Just moved into a home where they took care of these so is seaweed solution would be ok to give them? What encourage the flowering? I gave some indoor ones bokashi tea and worm tea they seem to like it
Hello Eviekalina, you mentioned spring so I assume you're in the southern hemisphere. We're in early fall in Jamaica and ours have just started to flower naturally.
Seaweed fertilizer should be good (if you don't mind the smell) as it's low in nitrogen. For more flowers, give them lots of sunlight, but not so much water.
Thanks for watching our channel and send a comment❤
Great video. No blooms this year's buts lots of lush green leaves. Can I propagate now in fall season? Soon plant will be brought indoors before temps dip. Thanks
I have a large Caladium and I would like to get two plants from the mother plant how can i do that?
Hi Valda. Because caladium growth generally decline by September/ October I would recommend you wait until then and divide the tuber into 2 or more pieces and follow the steps shown in the video. 💕🙏
Is there a plant that looks similar to crown of thorns l? I bought cuttings from someone who said it was crown of thorn, but it has much thinner stem and the leaves seem different. I never saw the adult plant so I can’t say what it looked like it.
Hi Alynna, please forgive this late response.
There are many different types of crown of thorns, some with long thin stems and tiny flowers. So it's possible your plant is one of these 'native' variety. You could try to identify it using a plant app.
Would using sand from the beach kill them, or could I use it?
There is too much salt in beach sand. So do not use to plant crown of thorns or any other plant.
Instead, try to get river sand. Its also known as construction sand and many hardware stores sell this in bags.
@@thelmamccatty9181 okay, will do. There was something you mentioned, re one of the components in the mixing of the soil. Is it spelt coir?
@@juleyl.5266 that's correct. It's also called coco peat.
@@thelmamccatty9181 okay, thank you. 😊
My leaves are turning colors , you think It will be ok ?
Crown of thorns leaves turn yellow as they react to any stress such as changes in location, sunlight, water, fertilizer. Usually they recover quickly as they adjust to the change. So as long as they're not overwatered and are getting enough sunlight they should be OK.
@@thelmamccatty9181 thank you for your response, God bless you
Can I propagate my cutting in water ?
Sorry I haven't tried propagating crown of thorns in water. But I suspect the stems would rot before rooting.
@@thelmamccatty9181 thanks I took them out and cut the ends and the sap was there I dried it off, added some root hormone and planted it in soil. Should I let it stay in dry or damp soil or water or not. Thanks again for your help 🙏🌿
Snails are attacking my thorns of plant
Amazing, isn't it? I have that problem occasionally. You would think they would stay away from the thorns. Apparently snails and slugs produce enough slime to allow them to glide over the thorns!
So it's time for you to go on slug patrol🤔
Sorry its not Caladium its Philodendron
Philodendrons root easily from stem cuttings. I'm sure we've done a video on this so check it out.
The video caption was misleading as it didn’t actually show how to propagate Crown of Thorns. It merely showed you transplanting the rooted cuttings, not how to propagate them.
Thanks for your comment Audrey, the last thing I'd wish to do is to mislead. But to my mind the propagation of crown of thorns is so simple that I allotted about two and a half minutes to this early in the video, and allowed more time for the second part of the title, i.e., how to grow more crown of thorns.
So maybe next time I should do propagation and growing in separate videos?
Thanks for your support, and please keep watching.
@Thelma, I saw and understood the propagation technique very clearly. Love your garden. Thanks for sharing.
she did show propagation from cutting, i suggest u be more attentive in the class.
@@24ghosh24 agree, I just watched the video, very informative.
Peccato che non capisco la tua lingua!!
Oh dear, I'm sorry too😮❤
What is the difference between a shrub and a bush?????
The two terms are used interchangeably to describe a relatively short plant that has several woody stems close to, or at ground level. But 'shrub' is the correct botanical term.
Bet you already knew this...
