The temperature should never drop below 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15.6 degrees Celsius)]]> 2021-08-23 06:39:36 UTC https://padlet.com/wilburleonpaul/2le2nz29u59m6srm/wish/1690627997 Water wilburleonpaul https://padlet.com/wilburleonpaul/2le2nz29u59m6srm/wish/1690633279 The desert rose plant has varying water needs, depending on the time of year and temperature. During its growing season (late spring and summer), the soil of the desert rose should be kept moist but never saturated. Check on the soil periodically. Allow it to dry out completely before administering another watering. Additionally, plant your desert rose in a vessel that has ample drainage holes. It can be susceptible to rot if it becomes too moist (a clay or terra cotta pot can also help with excess moisture).]]> 2021-08-23 06:43:15 UTC https://padlet.com/wilburleonpaul/2le2nz29u59m6srm/wish/1690633279 Soil wilburleonpaul https://padlet.com/wilburleonpaul/2le2nz29u59m6srm/wish/1690635782

As its name implies, the desert rose plant is used to naturally dry, desert-like conditions, including well-draining, sandy or gravelly soil. The soil should have a neutral to acidic pH, hovering right around 6.0 ideally.

It thrives best at temperatures between 65 and 90 degrees. If you've planted your desert rose outdoors, it will not likely survive any prolonged frost. Humidity is not important to the desert rose. It's used to a dry, hot climate.]]> 2021-08-23 06:47:00 UTC https://padlet.com/wilburleonpaul/2le2nz29u59m6srm/wish/1690638554 Fertilizer wilburleonpaul https://padlet.com/wilburleonpaul/2le2nz29u59m6srm/wish/1690639571 For an added dose of nutrients (and potentially more flowers), you can feed your desert rose with liquid fertilizer (diluted by half) once a month during its active growth period. Do not fertilize the plant during its dormant period.]]> 2021-08-23 06:47:47 UTC https://padlet.com/wilburleonpaul/2le2nz29u59m6srm/wish/1690639571
