How to care for the newly bought desert rose

1. Inspection

Since the plant may be damaged to a certain extent during transportation and handling, you should check the plant after buying it to see if its root system is damaged and whether there are yellow leaves. At the same time, you should trim off the excess branches to prevent them from competing for excess nutrients, which will help the later growth of the desert rose.

2. Lighting

Desert rose is a light-loving crop and needs plenty of sunlight to grow. After you bring it home, you must first let it receive proper light. You can place it under soft, diffuse light to allow it to slowly adapt to the new environment, while avoiding strong light exposure.

3. Watering

You can water the newly bought desert rose once first, just make the soil moist. Be careful not to water too much to avoid waterlogging and damaging the roots. The next time you water, wait until the soil is completely dry.

4. Fertilization

Desert rose does not have a strong demand for fertilizer, so do not fertilize the newly bought desert rose. You can wait until it adapts to the new environment and then apply some compound fertilizer to it.
