@ShelleySnyder Thanks Shelley thatโs pretty cool how the bloom pops up like that. Have a great day. I love your positivity!!!!๐๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ค๐๐

@jyotu @gjones thanks for commenting! I got a big surprise to see this cool bloom. Theyโd never did that extra little pop up๐๐๐คญ๐ค๐ค๐๐

@kez001uk. I think this plant loves the heat in there!?!?!? What do I do?? Iโll leave it in a bit longer but once it hits about 85 for a few days I think itโll b ready to come out๐๐

@plants. It looks like you have a big job ahead!! Is this part of your backyard your re-doing. How exciting!๐๐ป๐๐ป๐ค๐ฅ๐๐

@novicegardenlover thxs weโve all been busy over here since, it seems like its finally spring in most states!!! I love how this plant blooms. First time I saw it bloom this way๐๐

My Crown of Thorns is trying to โHang in Thereโ a few more days and we should have real sunshine ๐๐

It'll thank you if you give it aspirin

@jamescalli. How much aspirin and dilute it water??? Or how to I use that๐๐

Hi Terri I think it's one tablet to a gallon of water.@jamescalli will know for sure

Sounds about right

@alan111 Thank you I love this plant! My mom had one in Florida it looked like a small bush. Hope mine keeps getting new growth ๐๐

I canโt get over all the blossoms Iโm getting!! I thought they stayed close to the stem but look how they extended out further!!๐๐

Thatโs a pretty one Terri ๐ง

Fabulous ๐๐๐

@kez001uk thxs Iโm finally getting blooms on it maybe it likes cooler weather Iโll have to read up on that but I never knew the blooms grew up like that I thought they stayed close to the plant!!๐๐

@jeatacake I was so surprised to see these blooms in the winter, not one all summer. Thxs๐๐

I'm not familiar with them Terri, but they look great & any time is a good time for them to flower, especially when not much else is ๐๐

@terrimclaughlin Iโve no knowledge of them but theyโre certainly beautiful ๐

Went out to my greenhouse yesterday to see if everything was staying alive. My Crown of Thorns is blooming in a few spots๐ค๐๐

๐๐๐๐

Oh it's gorgeous Terri! ๐

Very pretty for a crown of thorns ๐๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ

Pretty one Terri...

@hannahcristine I canโt believe it. I have 3 more spots where other flowers are blooming. Maybe they just donโt bloom when their real young?!?!!๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐๐

@nation @rosiebug Iโm sooo excited after 3 yrs it blooms!!๐ฅณ๐ค๐๐ป๐๐

Wagsmonthompsonbtubternetcom it is very pretty itโs a bit picky about sun water but Iโm learning Iโm sooo happy that its flowering ๐ค๐ค๐๐

Itโs blooming I have 2 other blooms too!!๐๐

Look at you blooming away, Miss Terri!๐

Finally....all summer, no blooms ๐ฅ๐ค maybe it likes the cooler weather but it is considered either a succulent or cactus I canโt remember??๐ค๐ค๐๐

@kimguy I hate when I think Iโm answering someone than I send it and realize i didnโt put @ and your name. ๐๐คฃ anyway maybe this plant likes the cooler weather even though itโs considered a succulent or cactus canโt remember which it is๐คฃ๐ค๐ค๐คญ๐๐

That's ok Terri. My mind has been mush lately. Please email me rkguysick@gmail.com. Oh I believe it is a succulent.

@jeatacake Thxs for all the thumbs up!! I sure wish this Crown of Thornsโ grew faster but if this one makes it, its going to be nice and full with all the branches coming up!! Iโm still concerned about my seeds not coming up not even one out of 3-73 cell trays and I know some where from late summer (the seeds) thatโs why Iโm guessing it was to cold. Your do ok?!?? Maybe itโs just the way the Esperanza and the other were feather like seeds. I just hate when things donโt work out. Iโll let u know

Most welcome Terri. Seeds can be frustrating things & vary a lot, but very rewarding when they grow. Some are only viable for a short time & need to be sown fresh. Some need light to germinate, some don't. Some need cold treatment (stratification), but most need consistent & even warmth for germination. Also, a sterile growing medium like vermiculite can help. ๐

@richard.spicer.7906 Thxs This plant is growing good I have another of branches coming up looking like itโll b nice and full but their real touchy about water. Iโm happy to have blooms now!! Hope it grows even more this year!!๐๐

Now my Crown of Thorns is giving me a bloom?!?!!! I donโt understand but Iโll take it๐ค๐ค๐โ๏ธ

@tinaaune see all summer not 1bloom and now itโs giving me a flower. Itโs considered a succulent but maybe it was just too hot outside. Have s wonderful Christmas ๐โ๏ธ

Once mine started blooming over a year ago it hasn't stopped, in a south window and takes more water than people think @terrimclaughlin

My Crown of Thorns. This is it 3rd year.๐๐

@KariSamuel Hereโs the Crown of Thorns. Itโs filling in but Iโm not sure if I should top it of (the main stalk) or thereโs 5 other separate branches coming up from the main. Not sure what to do, if anything. I gave my daughter a cutting of a good size of a branch. It didnโt make it but the cutting gave my plant new growth and only 2 flowers this summer but it needs mostly shade here in Texas. Thxs!!๐๐

@tinaaune - Can you help @terrimclaughlin with her crown of thorns? I noticed that you have one, and I don't know much about them, nor care for one myself! TIA.... ๐ฆ

WOW @terrimclaughlin you're crown of thorns is beautiful! I'm not sure why u want to top it off unless you hate the looks of it? In that case you are safe to do so and root the sideshoots๐๐

I think Iโm just going to leave it alone sometimes itโs just better. Like the old saying if itโs not broke donโt try to fix it!!!! Thxs for your tip๐๐

@anges Thxs I love this one. Itโs just a slow grower but my mother had a huge one in Florida and of course everything seems to grow much better down there but Iโm glad mines doing well!!๐๐

Put it in sunlight not in a shady part of your home

@jyotu it was outside in the summer here in sthrn Texas but now itโs cold should I keep it close to the gro/sunlight or just indirect light??? Like the window because thereโs not much warm sun now until March ๐๐ป๐๐

Itโs grown a lot this year but their very slow growers, at least here in Texas but they get real full like a shrub๐๐

Looks great!๐๐

@columbiariver I love the crown of thrones!! In Florida their about that yโall but very bushy. Iโm hoping mine will get there by next year๐ค๐๐

@gjones yes Iโve tried to get more drought tolerant plants. Iโll eventually get there ๐๐ป๐๐

@nej does the โCrown of Thornsโ grow down there?, over there?! They just seem to b very slow growing but the end product is gorgeous just thought if they do you might have some growing tips?๐ค๐ง๐ค๐๐

@Hannahcristine howโs yours doing? I wish I could get them to grow alittle faster I guess I need to read up alittle bit๐๐

Yours looks very nice and lush, yes we have it here. There are a few cultivars with big flowers, I think they are called lipstick, I don't have any growing at my place ๐
This is growing good this summer. Filling out. A very slow grower but I do love it!๐ฅฐ๐๐
Looking good๐ @terrimclaughlin
@hannahchristine. Itโs finally starting to fill out. I saw yoursโบ๏ธ๐๐ค๐๐
@gjones. These have such amazing blooms and pretty foilage. Have a wonderful weekend ๐ค๐๐
@gardengirlla Thank you. Even last year this one was pretty bare๐คญ๐ itโs doing much better now. Hope you and Hanna have a great weekend. Howโs that garden doing. You have such a green thumb, both of you!!๐๐
Mine is growing like crazy without producing flowers
@jyotu mine didnโt produce flowers until last year and in September. I had it already almost 3 yrs. ๐ค๐๐ข. I guess it might take awhile Iโm not sure but yours will, eventually!!๐๐๐๐ค๐ค๐๐
Yes i can remember. Mine stopped flowering after that weird flowering
@jeatacake. Thxs. Iโm so anxious for this one to get nice and full.Sorry it took so long to respond.๐๐๐ค๐๐
