Planting & Care

Sow seeds in a well-draining seed-starting mix, barely covering them as light aids germination. Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and maintain warm temperatures around 75-85°F. Germination typically occurs within 2-4 weeks. Once seedlings have developed a few true leaves, transplant them into individual pots with cactus or succulent soil.

Provide full sun and water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Desert Rose is sensitive to overwatering, so ensure containers have drainage holes. In cooler climates, bring plants indoors before temperatures drop below 50°F. Fertilize lightly during the growing season to encourage blooming.
