Euphorbia milii, commonly known as the Crown of Thorns, is a beautiful and hardy succulent plant admired for its bright, long-lasting flowers and spiny stems. Native to Madagascar, this plant is a favorite among gardeners for its low maintenance and year-round blooming nature.

Its vibrant red, pink, or yellow flowers add a splash of color to balconies, gardens, or sunny windowsills. The thick, thorny stems store water, making it highly drought-tolerant and ideal for warm, dry climates.

Euphorbia milii thrives best in bright sunlight and well-draining soil, requiring minimal watering. With its attractive appearance and easy care, it’s perfect for both indoor décor and outdoor landscapes.
