I recently purchased a crown of thorns and am just overjoyed with the everblooming quality of this plant. However, 3 weeks after having this plant, I noticed that my crown of thorns is still putting out new clusters of 6-8 flowers, but recently there are smaller in size and are white instead of red. I know there are many species of crown of thorns, some of them with white flower & some with red, but is it possible to have both colors on one plant? I am wondering if this more reduced versionof white flowers is a sign that my plant is unhealthy? I water once a week but whatever kind of soil this plant was potted in, the soil feels dry even one day after the watering. I read that crowns of thorns are technically a succulent so do not really need frequent watering. I do pull of yellow leaves at the bottom of the plant but my plant is growing as many if not more new leaves on the top. I am just worried that in the next few weeks my plant will put out smaller and smaller flowers and then stop blooing all together. should i use a bloombooster? attached is a photo contrasting my previous large & beautiful red flowers and the new smaller white blooms.
