Is it better to grow Desert Rose in a large pot or a small pot? What kind of pot is better?

First of all, Desert Rose is a very drought-resistant flower plant, so its root system is much more fragile than that of ordinary plants. It is best to use a pot with good air permeability and drainage, such as a clay pot.

A ceramic pot is a very breathable pot. The size of the pot is also determined by the root volume of the desert rose. Generally, a pot that is twice as large as the root system of the plant can be used.

Desert Rose Flower Pot Selection

Desert roses should be plants that prefer small pots , because they have large tubers. If they are planted in large pots, it is likely to cause water accumulation and root rot, and even lead to the complete death of the entire plant, so desert roses should be planted in small pots.

Desert rose is a plant suitable for planting in shallow pots , because its rhizomes can store a lot of water, and excessive watering will be detrimental to the root system. In addition, using shallow pots can clearly show the growth process of flowers, making it easier to measure the amount of watering.

Desert Rose Repotting Time

It is best to repot the Desert Rose in spring because the climate is warmer in spring, which helps it adapt to the new pot after repotting.
