Care Tips for Crown of Thorns, White:

1. Light Requirements:

   • Full Sun: Crown of Thorns, White thrives in bright, direct sunlight. It requires at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight daily to bloom profusely. The more light the plant gets, the better the flower production and overall health. In lower light, the plant will still grow, but it will produce fewer flowers and may become leggy.

2. Watering:

   • Moderate Watering: Like other succulents, Crown of Thorns, White is drought-tolerant and should not be overwatered. Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry to the touch, but make sure the soil drains well. Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot. In the winter, reduce watering as the plant enters a dormant phase.

3. Temperature:

   • Warm Temperatures: Crown of Thorns, White prefers warm temperatures between 60°F to 85°F (16°C to 29°C). It is not frost-tolerant, so it should be protected from temperatures below 50°F (10°C). If grown outdoors, bring the plant inside during the colder months or grow it in a container that can be moved indoors if frost is a concern.

4. Humidity:

   • Low Humidity: This plant thrives in dry conditions and prefers low humidity. It is best placed in a well-ventilated area where the air is not too moist. High humidity can lead to fungal issues, so it is important to ensure good air circulation around the plant.

5. Soil:

   • Well-Draining Soil: Crown of Thorns, White requires well-draining soil to prevent root rot. A cactus or succulent mix is ideal for this plant. Ensure that the pot has proper drainage holes to allow excess water to escape.

6. Fertilizing:

   • Light Feeding: During the growing season (spring and summer), feed the plant with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer once a month to promote healthy growth and flower production. Avoid fertilizing in the fall and winter when the plant is not actively growing.

7. Pruning and Maintenance:

   • Pruning: Prune Crown of Thorns, White to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged stems. Regular pruning helps the plant stay compact and encourages bushier growth. Be cautious when handling the plant, as it has sharp thorns that can cause injury.
   • Cleaning: The plant's leaves and flowers can collect dust, so wiping them gently with a damp cloth will help keep the plant looking clean and healthy.

8. Pests:

   • Pest Resistance: Crown of Thorns, White is relatively resistant to pests, but it can sometimes attract aphids, mealybugs, or scale insects. Inspect the plant regularly for pests and treat any infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil to keep the plant healthy.
