Mixed Crown of Thorns can produce colorful bracts in shades of red, pink, white, yellow, and orange. The actual colors depend on the parent plants included in the seed mix. Seed-grown plants may show natural variation in flower color and appearance.
Crown of Thorns develops relatively slowly from seed, and flowering may take considerably longer than plants grown from established cuttings. The time depends on seed quality, sunlight, temperature, and growing conditions. Provide warm conditions and sufficient light to encourage healthy development.
Insufficient sunlight, excessive watering, and high-nitrogen fertilizer can reduce flowering. Grow established plants in a bright, sunny location, use well-drained soil, and allow the growing medium to dry between watering. Avoid excessive fertilization to encourage colorful bract production.
