Crown of Thorns yellowing leaves

Question

I just got Milly on 8/22nd she was the best looking plant, the rest were dried out and dying. I repotted her because her soil was hydrophobic, now she has yellowing leaves. Her soil is dry so I will water her today. She's also got new growth. @SirLiquorice @vvvelo What do I need to do to make her happy?

Just wait and watch closely.  Only water when the soil dries out completely and they like a good amount of light.  But the yellow leaves may not be too bad.  They do occasionally drop the old leaves and they do turn yellow and fall off.  If there’s new ones growing then it might be ok.  May just be stress from changing locations and repotting.  I usually wait about 3 days to water after I repot so roots can heal. Good thing is they seem to be more difficult to overwater than many of my cacti.  I wouldn’t be too worried.  They are tough and resilient plants

Sorry to hear about the Crown of Thorns problem. When the leaves turn yellow it means something is off in their environment. Maybe she is sill acclimating. If she has new growth it is a good sign. 💚. They like a lot of sun to be happy.

Yours only seems to have a few yellow leaves so it looks overall pretty good.  Looks like it’s ok so far.

Don’t water Milly much only when she is DRY
