Crown of Thorns!

I almost killed my poor girl! She’s swung back though, very resilient. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips on how to get her back to full health and keep her happy? Her flowers used to be darker and more plentiful, not sure how to get her going again

She’s lovely

She may need more light and fertilizer. A grow light can compensate.

She’s beautiful and so is your string of bananas it appears to be!

How often do you water  
Mine is dropping leaves like crazy 🥹  
They turn yellow and drop
