9GreenBox Desert Rose with Sparkle Star

Desert Rose, also known as Adenium obesum, is a popular house plant in temperate regions due to its vibrant flowers. Countless hybrids have been developed, making it even more famous for its colorful blooms. It is commonly used for bonsai and can be grown in pots, adding a colorful touch to both indoor and outdoor spaces.

One exceptional variety of Desert Rose is the Sparkle Star Desert Rose, which produces an abundance of trumpet-shaped flowers in various shades including pink, rose, white, and yellow. These flowers can grow up to 2-3 inches in diameter and can be single, double, or even triple. It is a beauty plant that will undoubtedly enhance your garden, injecting a lively and vibrant color scheme.

Desert Rose is an easy-going plant that requires minimal attention. Place it in a spot where it can receive full sunlight and water it when the soil is dry. However, reduce watering during the winter season while ensuring it remains hydrated enough to survive. It is advisable to keep your plant at a minimum temperature of 50F, and planting it in a pot will allow you to move it indoors during winter.

Taking care of Desert Rose involves dealing with pests such as mealybugs. These can be removed by simply touching them with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol. In addition, there are pests that create a web-like covering on leaves and buds, even though they are not easily visible. If you suspect that your Desert Rose is lightly infested, using a strong jet of water can help remove these pests.

To maintain the health of your Desert Rose, pruning is necessary. In late winter or spring, when new growth emerges, it is recommended to prune off any portions of the plant that have been damaged by cold. Pruning before expected flowering will encourage abundant blossom.
