How to grow Desert Rose in winter

1. Adequate sunlight

It is light-loving and is suitable for growing in warm light. At the end of autumn every year, the plants should be moved to a place with good lighting and exposed to more sunlight. It is best to give them full-day light exposure. If there is not enough light, it will affect growth and may even cause the plant to wither.

2. Strictly control water

Do not water too frequently during maintenance. Just water thoroughly when the plant is completely dry to avoid water accumulation, which can easily cause root rot. In winter, water control should be stricter. Water once a week and do not water thoroughly. Just make sure the surface is slightly moist. Too much water can easily cause frost damage, affecting growth.

3. Stop fertilizing

The temperature is lower in winter, so you should stop applying fertilizer and do not continue to apply it, otherwise it will easily cause fertilizer damage and affect growth. You can add an appropriate amount of compound fertilizer into the soil before winter. Adequate nutrients will help the plant survive the winter better and grow more vigorously next year.

4. Timely pruning

After the flowering season every year, diseased branches, dead branches and weak branches should be cut off, otherwise they will compete with healthy branches for nutrients and affect the winter. In addition, timely pruning is also beneficial to next year's growth.
