This flower is also called rose, and its blooms are even more beautiful than those of the rose

Desert rose flowers are trumpet-shaped with brilliant colors and an ancient, rugged plant form, making them deeply loved by people. To make a desert rose bloom beautifully, patient care is needed. Let's take a look below!

(1). Water management

In spring, desert rose should not be watered too much; generally water once every 4-5 days, making sure to water thoroughly so that both the upper and lower parts of the potting soil are moist. In summer, water evaporates quickly, so increase watering appropriately; because the plant is fairly drought-tolerant, water once every 2-3 days, and there is no need to spray water either. In autumn, watering should be gradually reduced, to once every 3 days, and later to once every 5-7 days; the specifics still depend on how dry the potting soil is. In winter, stop watering the plant; in some places where the temperature is 15 degrees, water once every 10 days, and the water temperature should not be too low, otherwise the roots are easily frostbitten.

(2). Fertilization management

For desert rose during the growing period, apply 1 round of decomposed compost about every 20 days, with slow-release fertilizer as the main type. Before the flowering period, apply 1 topdressing of diluted phosphorus and potassium fertilizer; after fertilizing, water promptly to promote flowering, making the flowers larger and more vivid. Stop fertilizing desert rose during the dormant period; at this time growth is slow and no fertilization is needed, otherwise fertilizer burn is likely.

(3). Light management

Sufficient light is needed, especially during the flowering period; light must be increased, and only when cared for in full sun can the plant bloom smoothly. Insufficient light will make the plant weak, the leaves dull and lusterless, and the branches and leaves grow leggy without blooming.
