Sun is essential for abundant and sustained blooming of the crown of thorns. You should choose a location where your plant can get at least 6 hours of bright sunlight each day. The southern window is a perfect place for the crown of thorns to get an optimal amount of sunlight.
Crown of thorns must have a well-drained soil if you want it to bloom. A good choice of soil is a mixture of 1 part peat moss, 1 part loam, and 2 parts sand to create a nourishing but rapidly draining soil.
You should water your crown of thorns regularly. A weekly schedule is not excessive if the soil is permitted to dry to the depth of an inch between waterings. Overwatering can result in spongy stems, leaf loss and failure to bloom. In addition to testing soil for moisture, watch for leaf-droop as a signal that more water may be needed. Maintain this schedule throughout spring, summer, and fall to maximize the chances of steady and prolonged blooming.
Fertilize the crown of thorns with a full-strength liquid fertilizer when you plant it. After that, dilute the fertilizer to half-strength and apply once a month during the spring, summer, and fall.
You have done all you can to make your crown of thorns bloom.
Restrict water during winter months to rest the plant. Soil can dry completely and some leaves may shed between small waterings. Do not fertilize during this period. Do not mist the foliage. A three-month artificial winter provides adequate time for your plant to prepare for another extended blooming season.

Hi! I’m Sreten Filipović. I graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Belgrade, with a master's degree in Environmental Protection in Agricultural Systems. I’ve worked as a researcher at Finland's Natural Resources Institute (LUKE) on a project aimed at adapting south-western Finland to drought episodes. I founded a consulting agency in the field of environment and agriculture to help farmers who want to implement the principles of sustainability on their farms. I’m also a founding member of the nonprofit organization Ecogenesis from Belgrade whose main goal is non-formal education on the environment and ecology. In my spare time, I like to write blog posts about sustainability, the environment, animal farming, horticulture, and plant protection. I’ve also published several science-fiction short stories.
