How to care for Desert Rose in winter

1. Move indoors

If the desert rose is maintained outdoors in winter, the plant will be frostbitten, affecting its overall growth. It needs to be moved indoors in time during winter and the temperature should be kept above 10 degrees. Wait until the temperature rises in spring before moving it out, but don't be too anxious to move it outdoors. Wait until the temperature stabilizes before moving it out.

2. Get more sunlight

Desert rose likes a growing environment with plenty of sunlight and is a sun-loving plant. If it sees little light, its growth state will be affected, causing the branches and leaves to become sparse and the growth to be weak. In winter, it should be moved to a place with good lighting and fully exposed to sunlight. Do not move it casually.

3. Control watering

If you want the Desert Rose to survive the winter smoothly, controlling watering is also a very important factor. Water it appropriately according to the condition of the potting soil, and wait until the soil is dry before watering again. At the same time, control the amount of water and never water it too much.

4. Appropriate fertilization

Desert rose itself is very resistant to barrenness and requires very little fertilizer in winter, so fertilization should be moderate, or even no fertilizer may be required.

5. Pruning

In winter, you can prune the plant once, cutting off old branches and leaves, as well as diseased and withered branches and leaves.
