Crown of Thorns Plant Care
Thankfully, the crown of thorns plant is pretty easy to grow indoors, but it definitely thrives outdoors in hot, dry climates. It's built to store water for when it needs it, like many other succulents, so it can withstand hot summers and periods of time without rain.
However, when indoors, it can actually flower year-round thanks to the milder conditions. Make sure you set it near a window that receives direct light (think three to four hours of intense sun a day) and don't overwater it. The key is allowing the plant to dry out on the first inch or two between waterings. When it does need a drink, water it until water runs out of the drainage hole. If you have a tray beneath the plant, empty it so the roots don't sit in water. Then, you can wait until the top couple of inches are dry again before watering.
That said, make sure you use a well-draining soil mix that won't hold on to too much water. A standard succulent or desert soil mix from the hardware store is fine, just make sure it has some sand or other draining medium in it. If you do end up going with a regular potting mix, water your plant a little less often. Typical houseplant soils will hold on to moisture for longer, so you won't need to give it a drink as often.

Not all plants are easy to take care of, but even with a name like the crown of thorns (which sounds pretty intense), this plant is thankfully pretty forgiving. Despite having a thorny stem, the crown of thorns plant boasts beautiful blooms that can last year-round in some cases. And, according to folklore in Thailand, the more flowers your plant has, the more luck you'll have.
The plant is actually native to Madagascar, which explains why it can survive in dry, bright conditions. At home, be sure to place it in a sunny window where it gets plenty of light. Plan to water it about once a week, but don't fret if you forget—this plant can take a skipped watering or two.
If you're a big fan of succulents, the crown of thorns is a great plant for you. Despite looking like a regular flowering plant, it's actually part of the succulent family. Thick, fleshy leaves help the plant store water, and they also will let you know when it's thirsty.
