9GreenBox Desert Rose Houseplant - RED and Pink

Unusual in the world of adeniums, Desert Rose is a native of Madagascar and has a bonsai-like appearance. This variegated plant can be propagated from cuttings and will flower year-round when grown in a sunny, dry, and hot environment. It is important to water it more frequently during the summer months. Desert Rose is suitable for zones 9-10 and reaches a height of 1-3 feet.

Desert Rose is known for its abundant trumpet-shaped flowers, which come in various shades including pink, rose, white, and yellow. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, adding a touch of vibrant color to any garden. The flowers can grow up to 2-3 inches in diameter and may be single, double, or even triple.

Growing Desert Rose requires minimal attention, making it an easy plant to care for. It thrives in full sunlight, so place it in a location where it can receive ample sunlight. Watering should be done when the soil is dry, but reduce watering during the winter season. It is important to keep the plant hydrated enough for its survival. To protect it from the cold, it is recommended to plant Desert Rose in a pot so it can be moved indoors during winter.

Taking care of Desert Rose may involve dealing with pests such as mealybugs. If you notice these insects, you can remove them by touching them with a cotton swap dipped in rubbing alcohol. Another type of pest that may infest Desert Rose is not easily visible but forms a web-like covering on leaves and buds. To deal with this issue, use a strong jet of water to remove the pests.

Pruning is necessary to maintain the health of your Desert Rose plant. In late winter or spring, when new growth is observed, remove any cold-damaged portions of the plant. Pruning before the expected flowering period encourages abundant blossoms.

When you purchase the 9GreenBox Adenium Desert Rose Plant, you will receive two live plants in the colors red and pink.
