RE: UPDATE ON CROWN OF THORNS PROPOGATION
That crown of thorns plant looks extremely pokey. What do you plan on using it for?

Mostly just to look at. It is unique for sure. The white sap it oozes at cutting was used on arrow tips to stupify fish. It is quite poisonous. Hands should be washed after even picking up fallen leaves. It can cause a rash and should be avoided by children and animals. Thanks for coming by @canadianrenegade.
Sounds like nasty stuff, yikes!
I wore my gloves when I did my propogation. It is the only plant I have that has a warning label. The tiny red flowers are so beautiful and the way the stalks grow in knarled patterns is so interesting. This plant came from a plant i gave a friend over 20years ago. Full circle. :)
