Is it better to use a large or small pot for Desert Rose?

Desert Rose Use Large or Small Pot

It is more suitable to use small pots for Desert Rose when planting. The nutrients and water in small pots are easier to absorb. If it is maintained in a large pot, it will be more difficult for Desert Rose to absorb water and breathe.

Growth environment: Desert rose is suitable for growing in a high temperature and dry environment. The environment should have sufficient light and good ventilation. Then, it does not need to be watered too frequently. Generally, it can be watered after the soil in the pot is dry.

Repotting time: Desert roses usually change pots every 1 or 2 years. Generally, the best time to repot is in spring, because the climate and environmental conditions during this period will be relatively stable, and desert roses will be easier to adapt.

Desert Rose Use Deep or Shallow Pot

When caring for Desert Rose, it is usually planted in a shallow pot. When watering a deep pot, the soil is not easy to irrigate thoroughly, and the drainage and air permeability will be slightly worse than that of a shallow pot. The roots of Desert Rose are easily suffocated.

Desert rose is very afraid of waterlogging and is not very moisture-resistant, so the material of the flower pot must have good air permeability. Generally, it is suitable to plant it in a clay pot or a purple clay pot. Avoid using plastic pots because the air permeability of plastic pots is relatively poor.

Desert Rose Repotting Method

1. Change the soil

The soil used for repotting the desert rose needs to be carefully selected. Generally, the new soil only needs to have good drainage and air permeability, so that the desert rose can absorb more nutrients more easily.

2. Remove from the basin

After the desert rose is separated from the original flowerpot, you need to clean the soil on the roots of the desert rose, but not all of it. You can keep some old soil so that the desert rose can adapt faster.

3. Put it in the basin

After the processed Desert Rose is planted, it cannot be watered immediately. It needs to be placed in a cool place for a period of time before it can be watered and exposed to light.
