How to prune Desert Rose

Desert rose is a plant with high ornamental value. It needs to be pruned in time during maintenance, which is mainly divided into steps such as pinching, thinning, and short pruning.

Desert Rose Pruning Methods

During the cultivation process of Desert Rose, you need to pay attention to the issue of beheading. Generally, beheading is carried out in spring from February to April, and you must choose a special blade to avoid causing unnecessary damage.

1. After the desert rose blooms, it needs to be beheaded so that the nutrients on the branches will flow back, which is also one of the ways to grow a big belly.

2. If the branches of the desert rose are too long, you need to cut off those individual branches and then trim its side branches. This can promote the plant to bloom again and ensure the fullness of the entire plant.

Desert Rose Pruning Tips

1. When pruning desert rose plants, be sure to use sharp blades, not scissors, because its branches are special and scissors will leave abrupt wounds. Using blades will make the wounds easier to heal.

2. Since the desert rose is relatively sturdy, the wound area after pruning will be relatively large. At this time, be sure to apply wound healing agent to it, which can effectively block the invasion of pathogens and avoid affecting the normal growth of the plant.
