watering and fertilizing of Crown of Thorns plant

Question

I live in Hawaii at 600 foot elevation, and just got my first euphorbia/Crown of Thorns. How often do I water on my drip irrigation, how often do I fertilize, and what fertilizer is best? Is the plant acid loving, and should I add fish emulsion or a chicken manure drench?

Mahalo,
Tom

Answer 1

Typically, extra fertilization is not necessary. These will thrive in your area, almost unaided. This article will give you more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/crown-of-thorns/growing-crown-of-thorns-outdoors.htm
