What happens when a Desert Rose goes dormant?
- When it goes dormant for the winter season, it drops its flowers and foliage. The desert rose plant thrives in a full sun environment, so choose a spot in your home to house the plant that gets ample light throughout the day, like a bright windowsill or sunroom.
How do you take care of a desert rose plant?
- Check on the soil periodically. Allow it to dry out completely before administering another watering. Additionally, plant your desert rose in a vessel that has ample drainage holes. It can be susceptible to rot if it becomes too moist (a clay or terra cotta pot can also help with excess moisture).
How long does it take for a desert rose to grow?
- The cutting should take root in about two to six weeks. After six weeks, you should notice new growth, or if you try to tug at the stem gently, it should feel rooted in place. The best time to sow desert rose seeds is in the spring. Get a well-draining potting mix with perlite or use a sand and soil mix.
Can I propagate a desert rose from a branch?
- The desert rose can be propagated from branch cuttings, but the plants often fail to develop the characteristic (and highly desired) bulbous stem. In order to expose the stem, you'll want to start the plant off in a tall, thin container before transplanting it into a shorted container that will allow a bit of the root to show.
