Crown of Thorn Pot Plant


Question
I brought it from Tyler Tx to Houston Tx two weeks ago.  It was healthy.  Now the leaves are yellow and falling off.  Is there any way I can save it?  It is about two feet tall and has several limbs and two blooms.  It is outside, I have watered it 3 times in two weeks.  It did sit out in the rain one night.  I haven't watered it since.  Have city water.  Don't have picture.

Answer
Fleda,

Let it dry out completely. This time of year it needs very little water. Do not water it more than once every 2 weeks. Is it in a sunny location? It needs as much sun as possible. If the temperature drops below 45 degrees take it in. It does not like cold temperatures, that can cause yellow leaves. It can grow all new leaves, just water it very little and keep it in the sun.  Good luck.
