Two Green Thumbs

I received a crown of thorns today as a gift. I’m really excited but a little intimidated that it has been tagged as difficult. Anyone have any experience with this plant and can offer any advice? What makes it so difficult?

    I’ve enjoyed mine. It’s almost always in bloom and has been a relatively care free plant. They want lots of light, but I keep mine out of the hot direct sun of the afternoon. Don’t need a ton of water like most of its ilk. But it can loose leaves if it gets too little water.
