Choose a container with drainage holes and place it in a location that receives bright, direct sunlight. Water thoroughly after potting, then allow the soil to dry out almost completely before watering again. Overwatering is the most common problem, so err on the side of dryness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis plant is sensitive to cold and should be protected from frost. In cooler climates, grow it in a container and move it indoors before temperatures drop below 50°F. Fertilize lightly during the growing season with a balanced succulent fertilizer. Handle with care, as the stems have sharp spines and the milky sap can be irritating to skin and eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne (1) Euphorbia milii 'Yellow' Crown of Thorns live plant, bare-rooted, approximately 5 to 7 inches tall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776113705270,"sku":"FOLIA-115","price":59.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6665417501_mppd.jpg?v=1792467753","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/1-euphorbia-milii-yellow-crown-of-thorns-bare-root-live-plant-5-7-big-flowers-drought-tolerant","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
