Last Updated: 2024/11/23, Desert rose belly is soft for many reasons. If it is caused by a large basin and a deep basin, change the basin and replace it with a smaller basin; if the soil is not suitable, change the soil and replace it with loose, breathable soil that is not easy to accumulate water; if it is caused by too much water, it is necessary to reduce watering or change the basin for it.

1. Change the basin

1. Reason: its volume is generally not very large, if the planting pot is too large, there will be a lot of problems. If the pot is too big and too deep, the plant will not be planted at the bottom, and there will be a lot of water at the bottom that cannot be absorbed. If there is stagnant water, its stomach will become soft.

2. Solution: when planting it, choose a small and shallow basin as far as possible. this basin will not have stagnant water. even if it is watered too much at one time, it will be dried by the sun and will not directly affect the health of desert roses. Generally speaking, you can choose to be twice the size of its root.

II. Change of soil

1. Reason: the soil on which desert roses grow cannot be rich and moist soil, because it is a desert plant, and too moist soil will cause its belly to soften.

2. Solution: the soil for breeding desert roses must be well breathable and does not accumulate water, so choose river sand and general soil to mix according to the ratio of 6: 4, in order to increase air permeability, you can cover the soil bottom with some river pebbles or ceramsite.

Stop watering

1, reason: desert rose is a drought-tolerant plant, watering too much is not good, it will affect its health, the stomach is soft.

2. Solution: one reason for watering this drought-tolerant plant is that the basin soil and branches and leaves must be completely dry before watering, otherwise there will be rotten roots. In general, it is enough to water two or three times a month during the growing period, and almost once a month at other times.
