When it is hot in summer, you can water it according to the soil conditions. Usually water it once every two or three days, and there is no water in the basin. When the temperature drops in winter, desert roses will enter semi-dormancy. At this time, water should be properly controlled to keep the soil dry. Water once a week. Proper drought is very beneficial to the growth of desert roses.
Desert roses prefer phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and generally supplement them once a month. In summer, they need a lot of fertilizer and water to be in full bloom and bright.
In addition, combined with changing the pot once a year, some long-term base fertilizers, such as rotten bean cakes and bone meal, can be appropriately applied in the pot.
Training points:
Potted plants need plenty of sunshine and good drainage.
The mixed soil of fertile and loose sandy soil and humus soil is the best.
It should be dry but not wet during the growing period. Water should be poured 1 time a day when it is hot in summer, and 1 time every 2-3 days at ordinary times.
Fertilize 2-3 times a year. Normal defoliation during drought and dormancy in winter.
Plant or change pots in spring.
In the south of China, it can be planted underground and overwinter outdoors, while in the north of China, it needs potted plants and overwinter indoors. Potted soil can be mixed with humus and coarse sand in equal parts, and a small amount of decomposed dry bone powder can be added. Before planting, pad some broken tiles at the bottom of the basin to facilitate drainage.
Every spring, change pots and new culture soil. Newly planted and changed pots can be maintained indoors or in the shade, watered less, and then put into normal management after delaying seedlings.
