Water

Desert rose likes a drier environment, so watering should not be too much. Over a long period of time will cause the pot soil to accumulate water, which will cause root rot. It will also make the branches easy to grow and damage. The original ornamental value is restored.

Watering should be carried out based on comprehensive considerations such as different weather conditions and cultivation substrates. Generally, watering is done once every 3 days in spring and autumn, and once every 1-2 days in summer. Water less in winter, once a week is enough.

Fertilization

Desert Rose During the growth period, apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers and less nitrogen fertilizers, because nitrogen fertilizers can cause leggy branches and leaves and inhibit plant growth. When the plants enter the growth and reproduction period, mainly use phosphorus and potassium fertilizers and stop using nitrogen fertilizers.

Generally, fertilization should be stopped during the flowering period. Long flowering time will consume a large amount of its own nutrients. Some quick-acting fertilizers can be added appropriately, but the concentration should not be too high. Fertilize once every 2-3 weeks during the period of vigorous growth, and stop fertilizing during the dormant period in winter.
