Desert rose is a kind of light-loving plant, which needs to grow in sunny environment to bloom. The maintenance of desert roses should pay attention to lighting, watering, fertilization, pruning and wintering.

It should be noted that desert roses grow slowly and need patient maintenance.

illuminate

Desert roses need plenty of sunshine, so they should be placed outdoors or indoors in sunny places to ensure that they receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight every day. When it is hot in summer, you can shade properly to prevent the leaves from being hurt.

water

The origin of desert rose is arid area, so it needs less water. When watering, we should follow the principle of "seeing dry and seeing wet", that is, wait until the soil surface turns white before watering to avoid root rot caused by excessive watering. In summer rainy season, pay attention to drainage to avoid soil water accumulation.

fertilize the soil or land

Desert roses have a great demand for fertilizers, so they need to be fertilized regularly during the growing period. Generally, decomposed organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer is applied once a month to promote plant growth and flowering. Before flowering, the amount of phosphate fertilizer can be increased to promote flower bud differentiation and flowering.

prune

Desert roses grow slowly and don't need to be pruned frequently. During the growing period, you can prune the excessively long branches and dead branches appropriately to keep the trees clean and beautiful.

5. Overwintering

Desert roses need to keep a warm environment in winter to avoid being hurt by cold. In the cold area of the north, it should be moved indoors or in a greenhouse for maintenance.
