Last Updated: 2024/12/23, To make desert roses blossom, we must first ensure adequate light time, not less than eight hours a day; secondly, we should ensure adequate nutrients and fertilize twice a month during flowering; in addition, we need proper watering and timely water supply after the soil is dry.

I. Lighting

It is a sunny plant, and it takes eight hours of natural light every day to grow healthily, so it is best to breed it in a place facing the sun, such as balcony or outdoor, to ensure the amount of light it needs. Winter sunshine is relatively short, but also try to give plant light, the winter sun is not strong, can be placed on the balcony to receive all-day exposure.

II. Fertilization

The usual plant does not need to be fertilized, except in the growing period and flowering period, because of the high nutrient consumption at this time, it is difficult to meet its needs by relying on soil nutrition alone. So it is necessary to apply fertilizer twice a month, but because of the high requirements for nutrients in these two special periods, it is necessary to add compound fertilizers, such as 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate, which are diversified in nutrients and can meet the multi-directional needs of desert roses.

Third, watering

Desert rose is a drought-tolerant plant, many people think that drought-tolerant plants do not need watering, in fact, this view is wrong, drought-tolerant plants also need watering. The watering time of desert roses is not fixed, but we should pay attention to one choice, that is, observe the water shortage of the soil before each watering, and water the plant only when the soil is completely dry, and the amount of watering can not be too much. There must be no stagnant water in the basin, so that the soil feels wet and the soil will not agglomerate. Stagnant water will lead to its root rot, which is very difficult to restore.
