 Watering Desert-rose
Let’s avoid watering the The Desert-rose excessively, always leaving the soil dry for a few days between one watering and the other, therefore let’s irrigate the substratum deeply every 4-5 weeks with 1-2 glasses of water . Let’s remember that the succulent plants can withhold water inside their materials, therefore they need to be watered only when the weather is hot.
Exposure Desert-rose
For a balanced development, it is best to position the The Desert-rose in a partially shady place, where it can enjoy direct sunlight only during the coolest hours of the day. We suggest growing the The Desert-rose In the house or in a warmed greenhouse; when the minimum temperatures go past 15°C it is possible to move them outside.Succulent plants can also be cultivated in a cold green house, with temperatures which must be below 5°C for many species, but in this case it’s necessary to keep them totally dry.
Generalities Desert-rose
These plants are succulent . The Desert-rose grows erect, developing a short stem with a small crown, usually roundish. Desert-rose Is an evergreen; during spring, summer, autumn, winter iIt assumes a pinkwhite colouring; the adult specimens are large in size and reach 2 m high.
Fertilization Desert-rose
In this period of the year, let’s remember to enrich the soil of our succulent plants, using, every 15-20 days, a specific fertilizer; fertilizers for succulent plants must be poor in nitrogen to avoid them from producing too much vegetation which would be easily attacked by fungal diseases.
Treatments Desert-rose
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.
Soil Desert-rose
Grow in a soft and sandy, very well drained soil.
