Growing cuttings from hybrid crown of thorns is easy in Spring and summer months. I should add that, at least, that’s been my experience in living in warm to hot, mostly dry climates. This cutting was taken from a favored red flowering bush. However, the flowers are not exact clones. All of the cuttings produced mottled orange flowers. Pretty in its own right but still a disappointment. I dry the cuttings for a day or two allowing the cut to suberize. Then, plant them in commercial cactus/succulent mix.

Prasobh, that’s great! Rainwater is the best for watering plants. Our house is designed to capture 50,000 liters of rainwater in a cistern under the house. That's all we have to bathe and garden wit...
