How to plant a newly purchased Desert Rose

1. Bare root plants

1. Potting and soil selection: Before potting bare-root plants, you must first choose the potting soil. Desert rose is a drought-resistant plant, so the soil for growing it should be mainly dry. When preparing the soil, you can mix expanded clay into it to help increase the looseness of the soil. When choosing a pot, it should not be too big or too deep. Generally speaking, the volume of the pot should be twice the volume of the plant's roots.

2. Potting: Because it is a bare-root plant, the roots need to be treated before potting. First, cut off the rotten roots, then apply sterilizer, dry the roots, and then you can plant it in a pot. After potting, place it in a cool place first. If new buds and tender leaves emerge, it means the potting is successful and you can then continue to maintain it normally.

2. Plants with seedling pots

First, remove the seedling pot and check whether the roots of the desert rose are intact. Put it in the pot together with the old soil, and then place it in a cool place. Do not water the roots after potting, just spray the branches and leaves lightly with water mist. If new leaves emerge after a week, it means that the potting is successful and you can now maintain it normally.
