Plant Type : Evergreen succulent
Planting Instructions
Seed Preparation
Soaking : Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting to soften the seed coat and enhance germination.
Sowing
Timing : Start seeds indoors at any time of the year, or sow directly outdoors in warm climates.
Containers : Use seed trays or small pots with good drainage if starting indoors.
Planting Depth : Sow seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them in, ensuring they have good soil contact but are not buried deeply.
Germination
Temperature : Maintain a soil temperature of 70-85°F (21-29°C) for optimal germination.
Moisture : Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Light : Provide bright, indirect light or place under grow lights for 12-14 hours daily.
Duration : Germination typically occurs within 2-4 weeks.
Transplanting
Timing : Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost when they have developed several sets of true leaves and the soil has warmed.
Spacing : Space plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for proper growth and airflow.
Site Preparation : Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained, sandy or loamy soil. Amend the soil with compost if necessary to improve drainage.
Transplanting Process : Gently remove seedlings from their containers, being careful not to disturb the roots. Plant them at the same depth they were in their pots.
Care and Maintenance
Watering : Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Mulching : Apply a thin layer of gravel or sand around the base of the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Pruning : Prune back any dead or damaged stems to encourage new growth. Crown of Thorns can tolerate heavy pruning if needed.
Where flowers bloom, so does hope.
