Maintenance skills of Desert Rose

Desert rose, a very beautiful plant name, is also known as "Tianbao flower". Perhaps when many people hear the name "desert rose" for the first time, they will think that this plant is a rose growing in the desert. In fact, desert roses not only have nothing to do with roses, but also do not look like them.

However, desert rose does have the characteristics of high temperature, heat resistance and drought resistance, like to grow in an environment with sufficient light, but it is afraid of waterlogging and is not resistant to cold. Therefore, if we want to raise desert roses well, we need to manage them according to these habits. As long as we can master the following conservation skills about desert roses, we can often raise them well.

1. Soil

Desert rose likes the sandy soil environment with good drainage, after all, the water tolerance of the plant is poor. When plants grow luxuriantly, some river sand or small gravel can be mixed into the basin soil to improve the drainage effect of the basin soil.

Second, lighting

Desert rose is a flowering plant, but if you want to make it blossom, the light conditions need to be met first. Plants usually blossom normally only in an environment with plenty of light. And even if the plant is dormant, there can be no lack of light.

3. Topdressing

Desert roses are both heat-resistant and heat-resistant, but at the same time require smooth ventilation. Plants generally keep growing in the rainy seasons of spring and summer, so proper topdressing is needed to replenish nutrients during the growing period. Because desert roses usually grow slowly, slow-release fertilizers such as slow-release fertilizers are generally used to top fertilizer.

Desert rose is heat-resistant and not cold-resistant, so it is easy to dormancy after entering the autumn and winter season, and its growth will become very slow or even stagnant. Therefore, it is not suitable for topdressing in autumn and winter.

4. Pruning

The pruning of desert roses is usually carried out after flowering in order to promote the germination of a large number of branches. And if we want to see more desert roses bloom, we need to consider keeping as many branches as possible when pruning.
