Desert Rose Cultivation Method
1. Fertilization: During the growing period, you can use slow-release fertilizer granules with slow and gentle efficacy, evenly sprinkled on the surface of the potting soil, and combined with watering to make it easier for the roots to absorb nutrients. During the flowering period, you can use diluted 2000 times of "Flower More 2" fertilizer to water directly into the potting soil, or dilute it to about 900 times and use it directly as a foliar fertilizer, approximately every half a month to promote flowering. Always follow the rule of applying thin and frequent fertilizers to ensure adequate nutrients while avoiding fertilizer damage.
2. Watering: The desert rose is drought-resistant and does not like潮湿 (humid) growing environments, so there is no need to water frequently. Water according to the principle of wetting through. In spring and autumn, it is necessary to water every 2-3 days. In the hot summer, water evaporates quickly, so it is necessary to water every day, in the cool morning and evening. In winter, control watering, about once every 7-10 days, watering slowly from the edge of the pot each time.
3. Light: The desert rose loves light and is not afraid of the sun. If possible, it is best to keep it outdoors. The more sunlight it gets, the better it grows, with large and bright flowers. Indoors, it should be placed in a well-lit area, receiving more than 3 hours of direct sunlight each day, preferably with full-day exposure.
