This is a VERY SMALL plant sent in comparison to one I received from a Bulb Company we buy plants on line from. It was so dry upon arrival that the few leaves it had and the only flower it had, dried up and fell off the first two days. A month later, after placiing it in a partially shaded room that only gets morning sun, it is doing okay and I think it will make it. I have basically "neglected" it since I remember my Mom having a HUGE Crown of Thorns plant when I was growing up, and she watered it only about every two or three weeks, and it filled a window and was loaded with flowers all the time! Mine now has a sturdy leaf and is sprouting more green growth in the center, so I am pretty certain it will make it despite it's rough beginnings. I would NOT reorder this particular plant from this source though.
