Introducing the Crown of thorns plant or Corona de cristo, known as Euphorbia milii, a flowering plant that is a vibrant member of the Euphorbia genus.

The Euphorbia Milii goes by several other common names, such as Crown of Thorns plant, Christ plant, and Christ's Crown of Thorn Plant. In Latin America, it is known as the Corona de Espinas or the Corona de Cristo, which means the crown of Christ.

The plant gets its name from the legend that a crown of thorns was placed on the head of Jesus during the crucifixion. It is rumored that the crown of Jesus was made of this plant's woody stem.

This ornamental cactus-like succulent, Corona de Cristo, is native to Madagascar and other tropical regions worldwide. It was introduced into cultivation by none other than Baron Milius (Middle East) himself, a Governor of Réunion (Bourbon Island); hence its name, Milii. 

The Crown of Thorns plant is a hardy perennial with, sprawling branching and thick gray thorns, and oval leaves that fall off as the plant grows older.

This slow-growing plant with vinelike stems can grow up to 6 feet tall outdoors; however, when grown as a houseplant, it typically grows up to 3 feet.

The flowers are small and green, surrounded by showy bracts of red, orange, pink, yellow, or white.

The flowers of the hybrid version of Crown of Thorns come in a wide range of colors, including red, peach, white, yellow, orange, pink, and purple. 

Too much light at night can occasionally cause poor flowering because these plants require darkness to initiate flowering. If you want it to flower better, do not grow it in an area with a bright lightbulb shining at night. The Crown of Thorns plants can bloom throughout the year, even indoors;  depending on their care. 

To propagate your Crown of Thorns Plant, simply do this with stem cuttings or tip cuttings. Keep the cuttings in a warm, humid environment with indirect sunlight to promote new growth. 

Watering Needs  

One of the coolest features of this crown of thorns is the way it stores water in its stems. That means you don't need to water them frequently, just make sure the topsoil is completely dry before giving it another drink. This helps avoid overwatering and keeps your crown of thorns plant healthy and happy!   

Unlike most succulents, the Euphorbia milii's roots should ideally be slightly moist soil to prevent your plant from starting to shed its leaves. Often, people worry they aren't giving their plants enough water when, in reality, they are over-watering them. This is especially the case with the crowns of thorns plants, as they don't do well in moist soil, which can result in root rot.  

In the spring and summer, during the growing season, your crown of thorns prefers watering once a week. In the winter, during the dormant period, you can cut back to every two weeks or less.  And get this: any type of water (except hard water) will work just fine! 

So, whether you use tap, filtered, or even rainwater, your crown of thorns plant Euphorbia milii will be thriving in no time. Just remember to avoid hard water since this succulent species doesn't like lime very much.

Light Requirements   

When it comes to growing your Crown of Thorns Euphorbia milii indoors, it prefers bright, indirect light. It thrives in a spot near a window where it can receive several hours of sunlight a day. Don't even think about hiding it away in a shady corner; this Corona de Cristo plant deserves to be front and center in direct sunlight, soaking up those rays. Even if direct sunlight isn't possible, make sure it gets the brightest spot available, or risk having a sad-looking, raggedy plant on your hands. 

If you want to grow your Crown of Thorns plant outdoors, it enjoys full sunlight and will reward you with an explosion of vibrant flowers in a sunny location. Learn to adjust your crown of thorns plant to avoid burns if the location where you have the succulent is exposed to a lot of sunlight. 

If moving outdoors or buying it from a nursery, be sure to gradually acclimate the plant to direct sunlight to prevent shock. Keep in mind that most nurseries grow plants like these in greenhouses with controlled light conditions. With just 3–4 hours of direct sunlight per day, this semi-succulent will still bloom beautifully. In hot summer climates, it prefers afternoon shade.

It's critical to remember that during a heatwave or periods of extreme heat, your crown of Thorn succulent branches could still sustain sun damage or get sunburned. You can protect the plant in this situation by moving it indoors.  So go ahead, find that perfect south- or west-facing window for your Euphorbia milii crown of thorns plant, and let it bask in all its sunny glory!

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs  

The Corona de Cristo favors a very airy, sandy soil-based potting mix that drains well. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and most likely root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally, use our specialized potting mix that contains over five natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your succulent thrive.

When it comes to fertilizing Euphorbia milii, apply it once in the spring with an equal amount of NPK (5-10-5). Benefiting beneficial microorganisms. If using a specialized fertilizer, follow the label instructions. When using a regular plant fertilizer, dilute it by 50% and choose a natural fertilizer with a higher phosphorus-to-nitrogen ratio.  

The crown of thorns succulent requires less water and fertilizer than other plants. Overfertilization, on the other hand, can result in fungal diseases.  

Hardiness Zones & More   

The Crown of Thorns plant is typically grown indoors as a houseplant. It can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, but it prefers temperatures between 65°F and 85°F. So, keep your indoor space comfortably warm for your Crown of Thorns. This Euphorbia milii crown of thorns is relatively adaptable and can handle average indoor humidity levels. However, it appreciates a slightly higher humidity level, so misting the leaves occasionally or placing a tray of water nearby can help create a more humid environment.

If you live in a warm climate in USDA Zone 9–11, lucky you! This stunning semi-succulent can be grown outdoors as an ornamental shrub. The Crown of Thorns prefers constant temperatures above 70 degrees Fahrenheit and can tolerate triple digits in the summer, so don't worry if your Crown of Thorns plants get too hot.  It is not a problem if the temperatures drop slightly at night because this tough plant Euphorbia milii can withstand temperatures as low as 50 °F. This succulent thrives in warm climates with low to medium humidity levels.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Euphorbia milii Crown of Thorns is a fascinating plant with spiky stems and beautiful flowers. The Crown of Thorns is native to Madagascar and has been cultivated for centuries. It's known for its drought tolerance and ability to thrive in warm climates. The plant gets its name from the legend that a crown of thorns was placed on the head of Jesus during the crucifixion. Whether you're new to gardening or just extremely busy but love plants, the low-maintenance Euphorbia milii - Crown of Thorns plant for sale (Corona de Cristo), is perfect for your home garden!

Perfect keyboard with wireless Unifying Receiver
Style: 2024 Model
I've tried and had to return multiple $100+ keyboards due to irregular F1-F12 or arrow key layouts, dreaded Fn key in the lower-left, mushy key travel feel, etc. I've been using exclusively Logitech keyboards & mice since the 90's, but gave up and tried venturing to other brands like Keychron (had issue with inadvertent key presses when pausing fingers over keys). But this simple keyboard just gets it right. I didn't even need the bundled mouse since I use Logitech MX Master 2S, but like that I can use the same Logi Unifying Receiver and Options+ software (optional). There are dedicated keys: * power on/off colored slider * play/rewind/ff * volume mute/down/up * calculator * battery level * 2 user-configurable buttons * Fn+ F1-F8 are also configurable The are 3 height levels, built-in mini palm rest (I still use a big keyboard mat beneath), slot for Unifying Receiver and 2 AA under the battery cover. Minor issue is the batteries clack when using the F5-F12 keys (just below where the batteries are), but I taped a little strip of foam on the inner side of the battery cover to resolve it. Also great is Logitech MK270, which is more compact, light, and perfect for the road. Both have amazing battery life.

Great 10gbps USB-C Hub, worked with Anker support through compat issues with PD4 iteration 1
Original Review (updates below): ----- The moment I noticed this thing on Amazon, I bought it and it literally just arrived. Finally, 4K60 over just USB-C with other ports (including making up to 10Gbps available to them) for a reasonable price. Unfortunately, the first two things I've done with it were both disappointing. I'll cut to the chase, the power delivery pass through isn't working with one of their own chargers. The first device I tried connecting this with is my Anker PD4 with one USB-C cable as the only thing plugged into it so I can test the truly up to 100W (-15 for its own power) claims. I've tried connecting it with Apple's 2m USB-C charge cable (100w capable) and an equivalent CableMatters cable that also supports 100W. When plugged directly into my laptop, both of these cables immediately start charging it and show up as 100W power sources. When this Anker hub is plugged in and either of them is connected to the power delivery port on the side of it, the laptop does not charge (laptop is a 16" Macbook Pro, I've tried multiple ports just for the heck of it). My second complaint is that when absolutely nothing is plugged into it, it becomes fairly warm to the touch. Why, when it's doing nothing, is it hot? I'm clearly not running data or even power through it so I have low hopes for it under load. The fact that it doesn't work in exactly the scenario they want it to most (a MacBook Pro with one of their own chargers) seems like a pretty big fail. I've got lots of USB-C things though so I thought I'd grab a couple and try those. Using an Apple 96W USB-C charger, the device does pass through power delivery properly. It shows up as providing 79W to the laptop (siphoning off 17W in this instance). I also have a 56W Aukey charger that splits power between a USB-A port and a USB-C port that can provide 45W of power delivery. When plugged into that charger it does appear to work as well and appears in macOS as a 30W power source. Maybe the problem is the Anker PD4? But it works fine providing power to the laptop directly. Would love to hear from Anker about these two products working together and what I should actually expect. Having it be unreliable for power delivery isn't great, but power and heat aside (it is getting a little bit warmer now that it's providing power from the Apple power adapter, but still definitely holdable), the hardware looks and feels good and the cable feels durable. Worth also noting that there's a white LED ring on the side of it that appears to be always on when it's plugged in. Don't know why it needs an LED. ----- Update, June 22, 2020: I've done some more testing and Anker has reached out to me to investigate what might be the issue. I can say that the hub works as I would expect from a quick test with my iPad Pro 11" with the above functioning chargers. It was able to pass through power with the 96W Apple Charger on the other end to both the iPad port as well as a Magic Keyboard port. The ethernet adapter showed up in iOS settings and an external drive was functional. When connected via the Magic Keyboard, which is a power only connection, as expected it provided only power. Still no power passthrough of any kind when connected to the PD4. ----- Update July 1, 2020: I've written back and forth with Anker and they've sent me a replacement hub. It also doesn't work with the PD4. I've tried multiple USB-C cables but they have also shipped a cable to test with it. For now I'm increasing the review from 2 to 3 stars because I am more and more suspicious about the PD4 and less about this hub. They claim that they have tested the setup I have separately without issue, and I've sent video showing the problems I've encountered, so the troubleshooting is ongoing. Have had a chance to use Ethernet on it without issue. Still need to try to test out its throughput when trying to use a 10Gbps USB-C enclosure and a 4K60 monitor at the same time (+ ethernet). More updates to come. ----- Update July 10, 2020: I've continued to talk with Anker support and they shipped me a replacement PD4. The one I had was labeled as "Iteration 1" on its barcode, the one I got back was labeled "Iteration 2". I tested it out and it works perfectly with this hub, passing through the correct amount of power to multiple Macbook Pros and fast charging an iPad Pro. Clearly the fault doesn't lie with this hub and is instead an issue with the first iteration PD4, so I'm updating my review accordingly. Working with Anker support was great. I've also been able to test USB-C throughput (without driving a display as well so far) and it properly utilizes 10Gbps. I've attached some extra images showing various devices connected to it (keyboard dongle, SD card, USB-C 10Gbps external SSD enclosure, USB sound card, ethernet).

Excellent Quality and Reliable Performance from Anker’s 8-in-1 USB-C Hub
I’m really impressed with this Anker USB-C Hub with Ethernet (8-in-1). The build quality feels premium, setup was completely plug-and-play, and all ports work flawlessly with my laptop. The Ethernet connection is stable and fast, which has been perfect for work calls and large file transfers. I also love how compact and portable it is while still offering plenty of connectivity options. HDMI output looks great, USB ports transfer quickly, and the SD card reader is very convenient for photo and video work. Anker continues to deliver reliable products, and this hub is no exception. Highly recommended if you need a dependable all-in-one USB-C hub for productivity or travel.

Works great (quick test)
Just got this and tested and works great I attached to my MacBook with Ethernet and had a solid connection I tested my steam deck by plugging in Ethernet then adding HDMI then adding power and everything worked as it was plugged in I tested my Nintendo switch even though it clearly states it's not supported and it did not work at all. Even the power pass through did nothing. This is not even remotely a problem since it was advertised as such but I figured it was with a try and worth noting
