Planting & Care

Sow seeds indoors in a well-draining seed-starting mix. Press seeds gently into the surface and keep them warm and lightly moist until germination. Once seedlings have developed a few true leaves, transplant them into individual pots using a cactus or succulent mix. Provide bright light and allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent rot.

Desert Rose prefers full sun and should be watered deeply but infrequently. In cooler climates, grow in containers and bring indoors before frost. Prune lightly to shape and encourage branching. With proper care, your Desert Rose will develop its characteristic caudex and produce stunning red and black blooms.
