Assorted Crown of Thorns (Euphorbia milii)

Crown of Thorns is a tough, sun-loving succulent that delivers long-lasting color with very little day-to-day maintenance. Its bright bracts keep showing up in waves through much of the year when it gets strong light, making it a reliable flowering houseplant for sunny windows. The spiny stems and sturdy habit give it a bold, sculptural look that holds its shape instead of wilting or flopping. Because this is an assorted selection, flower color and exact growth habit can vary, but the easy-care performance stays consistent.

Distinctive Features

This plant combines thick, thorny stems with small leaves and showy, long-lasting bracts that may be red, pink, yellow, orange, or creamy tones depending on the cultivar. It can bloom repeatedly with bright light, and it tolerates dry indoor air better than many flowering plants. The milky sap is irritating and the spines are sharp, so it is best placed where it will not be brushed by kids or pets.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Full sun outdoors and the sunniest possible window indoors, with bright light essential for steady flowering.
  • Soil: Fast-draining cactus or succulent mix, and never allow the pot to sit in water.
  • Water: Let the mix dry down between waterings, then water thoroughly and drain, reducing frequency in winter.
  • Zones: USDA Zones 9 to 11 outdoors, typically grown as a houseplant elsewhere.
  • Mature Size: About 1 to 3 feet tall and 1 to 2 feet wide indoors, and potentially larger in warm outdoor climates.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use as a focal point in a bright window where the bract color and sculptural stems can stand out year-round.
  • Sunny Windowsills: Place in high light areas where many houseplants struggle, especially south or west exposures.
  • Containers: Grow in pots with sharp drainage for a clean, upright accent that stays neat and contained.
  • Dry Indoor Spaces: Use in rooms with lower humidity where flowering plants often disappoint.
  • Warm Patio Seasonal Accent: Move outdoors to full sun after frost for a tough, blooming container plant in summer.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Watering: Water sparingly and always let the soil dry, since overwatering is the most common cause of decline.
  • Pruning: Prune lightly to shape and encourage branching, wearing gloves and avoiding contact with sap.
  • Handling: Wear gloves and eye protection when cutting, and keep sap away from skin and eyes.
  • Light: Increase light if bloom slows and stems stretch, rotating the pot for even growth.
  • Temperature: Protect from cold drafts and avoid exposing the plant to temperatures near freezing.

Why Choose Crown of Thorns?

  • Repeat Color: Produces long-lasting bracts in recurring flushes when given strong light.
  • Drought Tolerance: Handles missed waterings better than most flowering houseplants.
  • Sun Window Friendly: Thrives in bright exposures where many indoor plants struggle with heat and light.
  • Architectural Form: Spiny stems and upright structure add a bold, sculptural look year-round.
  • Easy Routine: Simple care, bright light and dry-down watering, keeps it performing reliably.

Crown of Thorns is ideal when you want a flowering plant that behaves like a succulent: resilient, sun-happy, and not needy. Give it sharp drainage, strong light, and a dry-down watering rhythm, and it will reward you with repeat color and a clean, sculptural silhouette. Place it thoughtfully for safety, and it becomes a durable indoor statement plant that keeps earning its spot.

Take the guess work out of the flow!
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
I got this because when my wife makes espresso, it's watery. When i make it, it's fine. We needed a controlled Tampering method so we both do the same job. This is heavy, and being able to use the whole hand instead of fingers, not much effort is needed. Since we purchased this, we were able to make consistent espresso shots for sure.

Not as good as I expected
When it first came, the box fell apart as I was taking it out, and a lot of some kind of dirt or sand kept falling out all over my table and floor. I had the take the entire thing apart and thoroughly wash it. After drying age reassembling it, I tried it on my portafilter that came with my Breville Barista Express, but, somehow, it doesn't always make the tamping level. You would think with the ridge that rests on the side of the portafilter that it would force it to remain level, but, somehow, it doesn't, at least not consistently. It also has varying lengths (heights, or depths), and a single spring tension, so you may still over tamping or under-tamp. I was expecting it would have a censor that would just detect once it reached 30 lbs of force and cut off after that, similar to a torque screwdriver, but that's not what this is. I'll still give it 3 stars because, despite the problems mentioned above, it at least produces some amount of consistency, even if that isn't measurable; but, I can't give it 5 stars because of those issues mentioned above.

This is the one.
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
As an el Supremo Coffee Geek, I've wasted money on lots of different tampers. Save your money and buy this one or it's equivalent. This thing is heavy duty, solid, well-made, self-leveling, tamps at 30 pounds and is fool-proof even for fools. Also, it's a palm tamper meaning more fun and more satisfying to use as you prep the puck for your morning buzz. Buy it. You will thank me.

Super easy to use and takes the guess-work out of getting even pressure on the grounds
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black, Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
I have been using a hand tamper for many years and have a good idea of the pressure I am applying to the grounds in the portafilter. I honestly considered spring tampers to be a bit silly. But this tamper really does take the guess-work out of pressing the coffee grounds. The shroud helps guide the press so that pressure is applied even and flat across the surface. With the manual tamper, there will be some play when pressing, or some unevenness in pressure. This is especially true when cranking out many espressos during a breakfast party with friends. Having the spring tamper makes quick work of turning out a lot of coffees with consistency. There are no instructions for taking this tamper apart to clean inside, and you may not really need to do that very often. After each use, just pull back the shroud (the black piece that moves up and down) and wipe off the tamper (the shiny steel part). This will help prevent grounds from working their way inside. If you do want to take it apart, it’s easy. Pull back the shroud and unscrew the tamper. It will come apart into three pieces. Wipe the pieces off and reassemble. Super quick and easy. This tamper is very heavy. My scale shows 656 g (about a pound and a half). It fits the portafilter exactly, with no slop. Just place on top of grounds and press!. Don’t even worry about pressure, just push down all the way. Overall I had fun using this tamper versus my manual one. And since I make myself a cappuccino very early in the morning, I don’t have to be very awake to get a good pack on the grounds and get my coffee fast!
