The desert rose has a simple yet small tree shape, vigorous and natural. Its roots and stems are as large as wine bottles, and its flowers are bright red and beautiful. Whether it is potted to decorate balconies, windowsills, coffee tables, or small courtyards planted on the ground, it is full of charm, appearing quaint, dignified, and unique.

The daily maintenance of desert roses should pay attention to the following points:

1. Light: Desert roses prefer light, and sufficient sunlight is beneficial for their flowering and can also make their roots and stems thick. Therefore, during regular maintenance, it is important to provide them with sufficient light and place them in bright places. Even during the dormant period, sufficient light should be given to it.

2. Watering: Desert roses are very drought tolerant but afraid of moisture, so watering should not be too much. It is necessary to wait until the surface of the soil in the pot is completely dry before fully watering, and stop watering during the dormant period.

3. Fertilization: Desert roses prefer phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. During the vigorous growth period, thin phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be applied once a month to promote flowering and root strengthening. It is also possible to add some decomposed long-term base fertilizers when changing pots. Fertilization should follow the principle of thin and frequent application, avoiding concentrated and raw fertilizers, and stopping fertilization during the dormant period.

4. Regular pruning: Desert roses are resistant to pruning, and their branches and leaves are prone to excessive growth. To maintain the beauty of the plant, regular pruning should be carried out to remove weak branches, dead branches, and excessively dense branches. After flowering, residual flowers, dead branches, etc. should also be pruned in a timely manner to maintain their appearance.

5. Disease and pest control: The main diseases of desert roses are leaf spot disease and soft rot disease, and they are easily affected by scale insects. Pay attention to careful observation and mainly focus on prevention and control. During the maintenance process, pay attention to maintaining good ventilation conditions and avoiding excessive moisture accumulation in the pot. In hot and humid weather, pay attention to cooling and maintenance, which can greatly reduce the growth of pests and diseases. If pests and diseases are found, pesticides should be sprayed in a timely manner, and pests should be cleaned up.
