How to grow desert roses so they bloom

Desert rose flowering time

Desert rose blooms twice a year, the first time is around April-May, and the second time is in September-October. After blooming, the color of the flowers is bright red.

Desert rose requires more nutrients during its flowering period, so it must be watered and fertilized in time, and there must be sufficient light.

How to grow and bloom Desert Rose

1. Light : When the desert rose is growing, the most important thing is light. Only when there is sufficient sunlight will it gradually bloom. There is no need to be afraid of the sun during normal maintenance, because it is relatively resistant to sunlight. The more sunlight it gets, the more flowers it will have.

2. Watering : Desert Rose does not have a very high demand for water. When watering, you should water it when the soil is dry and wet it when the soil is wet. Do not allow water to accumulate, otherwise it will affect the opening of the flowers. Moreover, its roots can store a lot of water, so it is best to keep the soil dry at ordinary times.

3. Temperature : Desert rose is relatively heat-resistant, but not cold-resistant, so it needs to be moved indoors for maintenance in winter, and the temperature must be kept above 12 degrees so as not to affect its growth and development.

4. Pruning : Desert rose is a good ornamental plant, so it needs to be pruned in time to keep it in a good shape, especially after flowering, be sure to cut off the overly long branches and dead flowers.
