How to grow Desert Rose in winter

Winter is coming soon, and the cold wave is coming. So how to take care of Desert Rose in the next winter? Here we will introduce the winter cultivation methods and precautions of Desert Rose.

Take good warming measures

Desert roses are plants that originally grow in the desert, so once the temperature drops below 15 degrees in winter, we must quickly move it indoors for maintenance , otherwise it will stop growing. If it drops below 10 degrees, the desert rose is likely to be frozen to death .

Therefore, the most important thing to maintain Desert Rose in winter is to ensure the temperature of the maintenance environment, and try to control it above 15 degrees, so that it can grow normally. If the room temperature at home is not reached, we can also put a layer of plastic bag on it, which has a very good insulation effect.

Reduce watering

Desert roses like dry growing environments. And its rhizomes are large and have strong water storage capacity, so the demand for water is not high. Even in the growing season, it does not need too much water, not to mention the winter which is not suitable for plant growth.

The most important thing to care for Desert Rose in winter is to water it less, or even not water it at all. Water evaporates slowly in winter, so you don't need to water it as long as the soil in the pot is not dry.

If the soil in the pot is dry, we should water the desert rose in the morning on a sunny day in winter, using water at a temperature close to room temperature, so as not to damage the roots of the plant.

Stop fertilizing

The Desert Rose does not have a great demand for nutrients. In addition, the temperature is low in winter, so the growth of the Desert Rose is not only very slow but also easy to stop, so there is no need for fertilizer.

Otherwise, it will increase the burden on the root system, hinder its breathing, and eventually lead to fertilizer damage, root rot, etc. Therefore, in winter, as long as the temperature of the Desert Rose is below 15 degrees, we must stop fertilizing in time to help it survive the winter safely.

Adequate lighting

Desert rose is a plant that likes to bask in the sun. Even in the summer when the light is very strong, it does not need to be shaded. Therefore, in winter, we can just put it in a place with sufficient light and maintain it in full sunlight.

If the Desert Rose does not receive sufficient sunlight in winter, it will definitely have an impact on its safe wintering. Not only will its growth be hindered, but even its branches and leaves will wither and its roots will rot. It can be seen that sufficient sunlight is still very important for the Desert Rose to survive the winter safely .
