Desert Rose Care
Hey ya’ll I’m waving my white flag i’ve had this desert rose for three years now and the beginning of this year I finally got her into conditions that didn’t cause her to lose her leaves and she seems to be doing okay but i’d love to know if there’s more I could be doing for her! I feel so bad 😭 #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #help #DesertRosePlant

She looks really good! She also looks pretty young, I have several grown from seed that are around that size and they are 2 years old. Don’t panic if she starts dropping leaves again soon, it is normal in late fall/ winter.
Come spring when she starts getting even more leaves again, be sure to fertilize with a bloom booster if you want to encourage flowering 🌺.
If she is very young she may not bloom yet. It can take several years unless they have ideal conditions.
She is beautiful, you should be very proud!

@SuperbRaspfern Yesss she was just a baby when I first got her I’ll add a picture! Growing them from seeds is so impressive wow! 😳 That’s good to know that losing leaves is normal for winter I was so worried last year! Thank you so much for your sweet words I appreciate your help so much!! 💕💕💕🥰

@Chevysgirl11 Oh my gosh yours is so pretty! I got my desert rose when I first became a plant parent so if she could survive that massacre i’m sure you’ll do an extra amazing job taking care of her 🥰🥰
She looks great Leila, it’s just going dormant for the fall/winter. She will come back in the spring ready to go! Just remember to stop watering during dormancy. (Watering wakes them up and they start their growing process like it’s springtime).
