There is only one way to make it branch more. Once a branch grows to a certain length, cut it off; only then can it send out more side shoots. Once the side shoots grow to a certain size, prune them again, and by repeating this cycle it can have enough branches. Only then can it bloom a lot. After cutting off a branch, liquid will flow from the wound. We must wipe the liquid clean with a paper towel, apply carbendazim to the wound, and let it recover quickly so that it does not become infected and rot. The cut branch should likewise be wiped dry, and once the wound has dried it can be inserted directly into soil to root as a cutting. Doing this not only encourages it to produce more branches but also gives you several extra rooted cuttings, which is very nice.

After pruning it, be sure to use a mixed fertilizer mainly based on nitrogen. You can use Huaduoduo No. 10 diluted in water to water it. Once every seven to ten days. This will let it produce enough branches. Desert rose care must have plenty of light. Fertilize it regularly, and water it thoroughly only after the potting soil has dried out completely. In winter the temperature should not drop below 10°C; only then can you grow it well and keep it growing and blooming continuously.
