How long does Crown of Thorns take to grow from seeds?
The time required for Crown of Thorns seeds to germinate and develop into established plants varies with seed freshness, viability, warmth, light, and moisture. A reliable, universal germination timeline is not available for every variety. Follow the instructions supplied with your particular seed packet and avoid keeping the growing medium excessively wet.

Yes. Crown of Thorns can grow in containers indoors when placed near a bright, sunny window. Use a pot with drainage holes and a well-drained succulent potting mix.

Why is my Crown of Thorns plant not flowering?
Insufficient light, excessive watering, poor drainage, or unsuitable growing conditions can reduce flowering.

Allow the growing medium to dry appropriately between waterings and avoid excessive fertilizer.
