How to care for a desert rose in winter
This article introduces the common knowledge of flower cultivation, focusing on how to care for a desert rose in winter. Let's understand this together.
To be honest, the desert rose has many good qualities, but its main drawback is that it is not cold-resistant. Gardeners often ask how to care for a desert rose in winter. We need to discuss three different regions: the south, the north, and the central areas, as the climates vary and so do the care methods.
In the southern region, caring for a desert rose in winter is relatively easy. Just control the watering and place it in a spot with plenty of sunlight. As long as the temperature can be maintained above 10℃, it can safely survive the winter.
In the northern region, some gardeners ask if it is easy to care for a desert rose. Let me mention here that in the northern regions with heating, it is quite easy to care for a desert rose. This mainly refers to areas with heating. Without heating, it cannot survive the winter. Basically, in the north, a desert rose can bloom in three seasons. Because of the heating, normal care can be maintained in winter without the need to deliberately control the watering.
In the central region, due to the lack of heating and low winter temperatures, some areas can reach below freezing. In such conditions, it is difficult for a desert rose to survive the winter. What we can do is to control the watering in advance. The desert rose is very drought-resistant, so there's no need to worry about that. Then, try to keep it warm, such as wrapping the pot with old clothes and placing it on a sunny south-facing balcony, etc. However, this cannot guarantee 100% safety during the winter. After all, the desert rose is a flower from the south, and in colder regions, it is challenging to survive the winter. Gardeners must understand this.
Also, when the temperature is cold, the desert rose will shed its leaves. This is generally a signal that tells us the temperature has reached a point that requires our special attention and to prepare protective measures in advance.
If the ambient temperature is low, the key points for a desert rose to survive the winter are to control the watering, bask in the sun, and keep warm. Protection should focus on these three points.
