Desert Rose Care & Info?
I have one desert rose plant in my pot and i am new for it ,….i do not know about this plant so any one tell me how to grow fast and some care tips
How to use vermicompost for this plant?
Size of vermicompost add in a regular cycle?
This plant has flower in this time also tell me this is an evergreen flower??
I have found regular potting soil from garden centers works well. Do not over pot. The plant blooms better if somewhat root bound and it is less likely to be over watered as well. I have found my leaves turn yellow with both over and under watering. To large of a container will make it hard to do the right thing. They are a desert plant as the name implies, however I found they require more water than most cactus that I have. I treat mine like most of my succulents however this summer I had to water almost as frequent as I did with plumerias. More damage will result in over watering than under watering. To little water will result in very slow growth. Mine is still blooming and is about 3′ x 2′ x 3′ high. Spring will bring the most blooms. Most winters like plumeria desert rose shed most of their leaves. edit: They require a dormant period. It is unusual for mine to be blooming now. I speculate it was all the super bloom plant food I was feeding this summer. What ever mix you use be sure in drains well.

They are native to the low veld of Africa. So they like dry winters and wet summers. I would water daily all summer and let them only have natural rainfall in winter. They will probably lose their leaves if you do this, and rest over winter. This plant cannot handle temperatures below freezing. As weather warms in the spring, the first full flush of flowers will often come before the leaves re-sprout. That is the most beautiful time of the year for Desert Rose. I am not sure what vermicompost is, but this plant in nature is not found in a very humus-rich environment, so I would not spend much money enriching the soil. Good drainage will be crucial, however.
