How to raise desert roses to survive the winter safely

Desert rose is a kind of flower plant that is often called "Tianbao flower" by everyone. As the temperature is getting lower and lower, winter is coming. For desert roses, winter is more difficult, not only easy to dormancy and stop growing, but also more prone to frost injury. Therefore, overwintering has become a problem, so how to raise desert roses to survive the winter safely?

First, watering is only due to the area

In the northern and southern regions of China, the climate is often quite different in winter, and the southern region is generally relatively warm, so there is no need to use heating even in winter. As for the northern areas, the weather conditions in winter are often very bad, and there is usually heating in the home. Therefore, for areas with and without heating, we tend to be different in watering.

After entering winter, desert roses often go dormant under the influence of low temperature, and when we find that the leaves of the plant fall off, we must take water control measures in time. And when the temperature is approaching 15 °C and the leaves of the plant fall off, then we generally do not need to water it, but should keep the basin soil dry to raise desert roses. When the temperature is higher than 15 °C, we can supply a small amount of water in the same year.

If there is heating in the environment, then we can take normal watering methods to manage potted desert roses. And the air in the heating room is generally dry and the air humidity is relatively low, so the frequency of watering also needs to be increased accordingly. Through correct and timely watering, the trunk of desert roses can be prevented from softening due to lack of water.

II. Scientific and rational fertilization

For warm areas with heating, the original desert rose will not go dormant, but will continue to grow. Therefore, we generally need to apply a small amount of fertilizer to the plant every other month, usually with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer, once to balance nutrients. This can promote the overall growth of desert roses. However, fertilization is generally not recommended for areas without heating. After all, the plant grows very slowly after entering dormancy at low temperature.

Third, improve the lighting conditions in time

Desert rose is a sunny plant, so it needs to be illuminated by sufficient light during cultivation. For the environment with heating, increasing light can prevent the overgrowth of plants. For desert roses without heating, they often have an anti-freezing effect.

As long as we do a good job in accordance with the above three aspects, desert roses can often survive the winter smoothly and safely.
