5 Tips! Let the desert rose bloom more than 200 days a year!

Desert rose is a very good plant, even if the year by sowing the way to cultivate desert rose, grasp certain care skills can also be in the year of flowering. Desert rose drought-resistant heat-resistant for a long time without watering, but also able to survive normally. It is a very suitable plant for lazy people to breed, but also better than the common drought-tolerant plants such as cactus.
Desert roses have a long flowering period, basically can bloom more than 200 days a year, but must be suitable care methods and special care skills, otherwise it is difficult to bloom for such a long time. Today, I would like to share with you the five main care tips to make the desert rose bloom continuously.

The first, watering should be less.

Just by its name, the desert rose should know that it is a very drought-tolerant plant, so it doesn't need much water. The main reason many people kill desert roses is that they are watered too often. Desert roses prefer dry growing conditions and are especially intolerant of water and humidity. In the pot to bloom this period, we must not water too much, although not to let the desert rose death, but it is easy to let its branches and leaves grow crazy, grow too long branches will absorb a lot of nutrients, so that the desert rose overall nutritional imbalance of the situation, and then cause root rot disease.
Usually water the desert rose, keep it at this frequency. Water desert roses once every three days in the spring and autumn, once every two days in the summer, and as often as about once every seven days in the winter. Instead, keeping the soil properly dry will be more conducive to the growth of desert roses.

Secondly, the light should be sufficient.

Breeding desert roses, must ensure sufficient sunlight, desert roses even in the summer, do not need to be shading, in the sun to receive strong light will not have too much effect. Desert roses, if they do not receive light for a long time, will make its branches grow particularly vigorous, but very thin, and the verdant leaves are easy to yellowing affect the flowering.

When the Desert Rose is in its seedling stage, its branching can be severely affected if it doesn't receive enough light. Especially in autumn seedlings, must ensure full sun, can promote the desert rose lateral branching growth of differentiation. Another purpose of ensuring sufficient sunlight is to keep the growing temperature of the desert rose in the right environment, and it is best suited to higher temperatures than any common plant. Between 20 ° C and 30 ° C, the lowest temperature should not be lower than 5 ° C, or even lower than 10 ° C flowering will be affected, and will be accompanied by a large number of fallen leaves appear.
Desert roses have a unique property of going dormant when exposed to low temperatures for a long period of time. This means that in the winter breeding desert rose, if the ambient temperature is relatively low, the desert rose will enter dormancy. We will not give it watering and fertilising, and keep the soil dry.

Thirdly, apply fertiliser appropriately.

In the desert rose seedlings to flowering before this period of time is best to apply nitrogen fertiliser, can promote the growth of branches and leaves. But it must be mainly nitrogen fertiliser, phosphorus and potassium fertiliser as a supplement, in order to promote the normal growth of desert rose. When the Desert Rose grows from a seedling to a slightly larger plant, it is necessary to reduce the use of nitrogen fertiliser and add more phosphorus and potassium fertiliser. Too much nitrogen fertiliser at this time of year will cause the branches and leaves to soar, and once it reaches flowering time, fertiliser should be reduced. Because the flowering period of the desert rose is particularly long, for the consumption of nutrients is still very large, we are also appropriate to supplement some fertiliser, it is best to use liquid fertiliser to promote the absorption of the roots. 

In addition, in the peak growing season of the desert rose, half a month or so to apply fertiliser, winter time to stop fertiliser.

Fourth, prune the plant.

To make the whole plant look better, we need to prune the desert rose, and the desert rose is not like some other bonsai plants, it is easy to shape, because it is more tenacious and vigorous growth, it is easy to appear scattered branches. It is often too late to prune a Desert Rose after it has grown, and the best time to prune it is when it is a seedling.

The best time for pruning is at the seedling stage. When the seedling reaches about twenty centimetres in length, it should be topped to promote branching. And after the already formed desert rose has bloomed it should be pruned again, preferably with small branches, if the pruned branches are too thick, it is easy to rot because the cut is too big, and it is attacked by rainwater and disease. After pruning the desert rose, we can use 2% copper sulfate solution to disinfect, and also can apply some wax oil to reduce the contact with the air.

Fifth, control pests and diseases.
The common pests and diseases of desert roses are leaf spot, root rot, and shellfish. For leaf spot and root rot, we have to use 25% carbendazim solution to prevent and control, and for shell insect pests, once found to use cotton swabs dipped in water to remove, and then spray 40% of oxytetracycline emulsion and fenitrothion emulsion.

About the desert rose breeding, mainly these five tips, all properly used can ensure that the desert rose continuous flowering up to more than 200 days.
