Large ivory-colored aloe vera flower

It is also called Crown of Thorns, cactus Crown of Thorns, or Euphorbia milii. There are many types of it, reaching up to 2000 types, and these types differ in whether they are annuals, shrubs, or very hardy. Our plant, which we are talking about, is a succulent shrub with woody stems that have many thorns, and the stems bear small flowers surrounded by a beautiful red bract. It blooms from spring until mid-summer. When the plant is cut, a toxic sap appears that can cause skin inflammation upon contact, and sometimes some sellers call it by its old name (E. splendens). Care: It does not require much care. It can tolerate temperatures down to 12 degrees Celsius. Although it is a succulent, it needs high humidity, especially in spring and summer when the temperature is high. It tolerates direct sunlight but not in summer, and it prefers bright light and direct sunlight in winter. Watering should be abundant except in winter, when it should be reduced. Fertilization is done in summer. The branches of the plant should be pruned so that at least 10 cm remain after the flowering season ends. If you want to transfer the plant to another pot, the best time is spring, and it should be watered abundantly after transplantation and fertilized to promote growth. The plant can be encouraged to flower by blocking light from it at night using a black bag for 14 hours, then removing it. This process is repeated for about two months, after which the bag is removed, and the plant is left to grow naturally. This encourages the plant to flower during winter. Propagation: It propagates by cuttings, and some types propagate better by seeds.
