Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
Soak Seeds: Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours to soften the seed coat and improve germination rates.
Sowing:
Choose a Container: Use a seed tray or small pots with drainage holes.
Fill with Soil: Fill the container with a well-draining potting mix or cactus mix.
Sow Seeds: Place seeds on the surface of the soil and cover them lightly with a thin layer of soil or sand (about 1/8 inch or 3 mm deep).
Germination:
Watering: Gently water to keep the soil moist but not soggy. A spray bottle works best to avoid disturbing the seeds.
Temperature: Maintain a warm environment with temperatures between 70-75°F (21-24°C).
Light: Place the container in a bright location with indirect sunlight.
Timeframe: Germination typically takes 1-3 weeks. Keep the soil consistently moist.
Transplanting:
Seedling Growth: Once seedlings have at least two sets of true leaves and are large enough to handle, they can be transplanted.
Prepare the Garden Bed or Container: Ensure the planting site has well-draining soil and plenty of sunlight.
Spacing: Space seedlings 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) apart to allow room for growth.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering: Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
Pruning: Trim back leggy growth to maintain a compact shape and encourage more blooms.
Protection: In colder climates, bring the plant indoors or protect it from frost.
Crown of Thorns (Euphorbia milii) adds a touch of elegance and resilience to your garden or home. Happy gardening!
