Desert Rose Care Guide

• Light
  • The desert rose flowering plant grows well in desert settings and will bloom beautifully with full, bright sun.
• Water
  • The desert rose only needs watering when the soil feels dry. In the winter, it only needs water every three or four weeks.
• Temperature
  • The desert rose needs temperatures of at least 70°F, but it can do very well in temperatures of up to 100 °F.
• Food
  • Fertilize your desert rose during its growing period (spring and summer) with a half dose of 20-20-20 plant food, but be sure to stop the fertilization during the winter when it goes dormant.
• Toxicity
  • Toxic to humans and pets if ingested.
• Growers Tips
  • As a succulent, desert rose is quite drought-tolerant, but it will flower best if given regular water during the summer. When temperatures drop to 55 degrees or lower, you should cut back on watering quite a bit. Using a terra cotta pot is ideal, since this allows water to drain quickly. Use a cactus mix when re-potting and take care not to use a too-large pot.
