Euphorbia Milii - Crown of Thorns variegated -'Fireworks' AE33

This listing is for a variegated leaf small red bloom flowering crown of thorns, ‘Fireworks’. Euphorbias have over 2,000 varieties and originate from South America, Africa and Asia. The Crown of Thorns type, which are hybrids of Euphorbia milii and Euphorbia lophogona have flowers that grow in clusters of brilliant blooms. They are considered indestructible because they can grow year-round on a sunny windowsill in a warm, bright location, tolerating long periods of dryness.

They flower primarily during the spring and summer when the days are long and warm. Sometimes in tropical locations, or greenhouse situations, you’ll see sporadic flowering year round if the light level is high and the plants are kept in higher temperatures. They can take cool nights in the winter as long as the days are above 60°F but longer periods of cold temperatures will force them in to a resting period when they will drop their leaves even to the extent of becoming leafless. Long periods of dryness will do the same.

They like full sun and are generally Zone 9-10 and don't tolerate temperatures below freezing. Plant it in well draining coarse soil, a cactus mix works.
