To get a desert rose to bloom, it must have plenty of light; ample light is essential for it to flower. All year round, whether spring, summer, autumn or winter, just place it directly in the spot with the most light. This is the main reason it won't bloom, and it is also the prerequisite for it to flower.

Usually the desert roses we grow begin to bloom in spring. At this time we fertilize them, choosing as much as possible a multi-element mixed fertilizer with phosphorus and potassium as the main elements, such as Huaduoduo No. 2. Give it fertilizer two to three times a month. Don't choose the wrong fertilizer; if you use too much nitrogen fertilizer, it will only grow branches and leaves and won't bloom.

If a desert rose grows well but just won't bloom, there are only these two reasons. That's because even a desert rose grown from seed, from sowing to sprouting to blooming, takes less than a year. If it won't bloom, there are only these two reasons. It is fairly suited to lazy growers; just make sure the soil mix is loose and breathable, and don't water too much. When the potting soil is completely dry, just water it thoroughly, put it in a spot with plenty of light, and regularly supplement it with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and that way it will keep blooming.

Of course, if the desert rose you're growing isn't growing, either it has been short of water and you haven't watered it, or it has developed root rot. If root rot occurs, deal with it promptly, otherwise the entire desert rose will completely rot starting from the roots.
