9GreenBox Eddy Red Desert Rose

Desert Rose, also known as Adeniums, is a flowering plant native to southern and eastern parts of Arabia and Africa. Over the years, it has gained popularity as a houseplant and bonsai tree, and can be found growing in temperate and tropical regions. In Africa, the sap of the Desert Rose has traditionally been used for hunting due to its poisonous properties. However, it is only harmful if it enters the bloodstream directly. To protect yourself from irritation, it is recommended to wear rubber gloves when handling the plant.

Desert Plants are well-known for adding vibrant colors to gardens and homes. They come in a variety of shades, but the most common color is red. When growing Desert Plants, it is important to keep a few things in mind. They can tolerate drought but still require water, so make sure to let the soil dry out between waterings. Like most plants, they need full sunlight to grow. Additionally, regularly checking the plant is necessary as they thrive in dry conditions, which can attract spider mites.

As mentioned earlier, the sap of Desert Plants is poisonous, especially if it comes into direct contact with the bloodstream. So, it is advised to always wear gloves when handling the plant. Despite its poisonous nature, Desert Rose is a low-maintenance houseplant that only requires sufficient sunlight. The blooming flowers add a lively atmosphere to any home or garden.

9GreenBox takes pride in growing and caring for Homegrown Desert Plants. We aim to provide quality service to our valued customers. Our Eddy Red Desert Rose is a stunning plant that produces abundant trumpet-shaped flowers in various shades such as pink, rose, white, and yellow. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, adding a vibrant touch to your garden. The flowers can grow up to 2-3 inches in diameter and can be single, double, or even triple.

Growing and taking care of Desert Rose Plants is relatively easy. They are hardy and require minimal attention. Place your Desert Rose in an area where it can receive full sunlight. Water it when the soil is dry, but reduce watering during the winter season. It is important to keep the plant hydrated. To protect it during winter, it is recommended to plant it in a pot so that it can be easily moved indoors.

Desert Rose Plants are susceptible to pests, including mealybugs. If you notice these insects, they can be easily removed by gently touching them with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol. There are also insects that create web-like coverings on the leaves and buds, making them less visible. If you suspect that your plant has a mild infestation, you can use a strong jet of water to remove the pests.

To maintain the health of your Desert Rose, pruning is necessary. In late winter or spring, once you notice new growth, prune off any cold-damaged portions of the plant. Pruning before the expected flowering period encourages abundant blossom.

When you purchase the Eddy Red Desert Rose from 9GreenBox, you will receive a live plant measuring 5-7 inches. It will be shipped with bare roots for your convenience.
