Easy Desert Rose Soil Recipe

The key to happy desert roses is to not keep the roots wet. This is very important. You need a soil that lets them dry out.
For most people you need between 30% to 40% organic material and the rest inorganic or some type of pine bark.

The dust can damage your lungs😷 The dust that gets in your pool, is no way a problem compared to irreversible lung damage

I live in the California desert. Never get a frost but goes dormant in winter. I have hundreds of plants and the desert rose is the most DIFFICULT one. It likes ZERO water in the winter, even with temps in 60s during the day, 40s at night. So sad!

I live in south Florida and it is a pretty wet season here. The plants don't really go dormant for me because cold spells are so short.

I’m in the AZ desert and I grow mine in a Bonsai mix that I buy from Amazon. No mixing just right out of the bag. It drains quickly so I water daily in the hot months, tapering off in September and when the temps go below 50 degrees they go in the garage for the winter. If the caudexes get a little soft I give them a few tablespoons of water. When the days start to get longer in January I roll my restaurant table out in the morning on my south facing driveway and back in at night. When they break dormancy I start with a little water fortified with Super Thrive. By March they go out for the summer, many already in bloom . I’ve been growing them for 6 years and this works great for me.
