These two are my little Desert Rose cuttings. The goal is to get them THICK like their mama. πŸ˜‚ Am I being patient? Absolutely not. Am I trying to stay positive and trust the process? Yes. πŸ˜… For now, we wait… we water… we encourage… and we stare at them approximately 47 times a day. πŸ‘€πŸŒ± Come on, babies. Give momma some chunky little trunks! πŸ₯ΉπŸ’š #PatienceIsAVirtue #DesertRosePlant #PropagationStation #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy #PlantLove

That is tough! I've been waiting for 3.5 years and here is the result. Hang in there!
@GracedStrapwort hang in there! This is their mama but I don’t remember how long it’s been. πŸ€”Definitely 2+ yrs πŸ˜…
@iHasCheeks @GracedStrapwort very cool looking plants!
I’d like to suggest fish fertilizer it absolutely encourages almost forces abundant new growth definitely creates more biomass.
Organic silica will increase cell strength
Studying bonsai if you want thick trunks, you need more property other words bigger pot with more soil.

I have no experience with this particular plant. I have just wanted one for years so I figured I’d put in my two cents maybe I can get a leaf πŸƒ lol
i’ve seriously been looking at them online, but they’re just mixed reviews and the pictures from the bad reviews look worse than the pictures from the good reviews. You know I just haven’t went and looked at the local nursery because I would love to have a bonsai one they look out of this world awesome.
I would still encourage fish fertilizer and silica. You use these things to get massive trunks on plants. That should not be that big

I wish you a speedy β€œget bigger growth phase” 🧐 ”Peach Headies in the pic”
Wow! Cool Mama plant!
