I have around 20 pots of euphorbia milli in various colours. I live in Kerala, India. The plant blooms profusely. Its a joy to see them. I am slowly mastering the art of propagation. Thanks a lot for your valuable info.

You’re most welcome, Dylan…there’s much pleasure in sharing!
Yes, you can prune without fear since the roots are well-established, but do so with a very sharp knife so that the roots are not unduly shaken.

I have had one of these for about 7 years now and man is it durable. I haven’t even killed it. A true test of plant resiliance. ;-)

However, the main stem has gotten bigger than I like. It started off probably six inches high and now is close to 2 feet. Can I chop 12-18″ off it without killing the plant?

Thanks for all the great info.

We love these plants. Though thorny, they’re such compact and slow-growers that you won’t need to handle much or repot for years…probably only when its top heavy and topple the pot. That too, we’ll just crack the pot to repot with ease. However, we noticed that they don’t take easily to transplanting, so must handle with care.

I would really love these Crown of Thorns except for the thorns. I found they are quite sharp & difficult to handle especially when replanting them.

Somehow, I’m still thinking of getting this one, those beautiful red flowers.
