Miss Beauty Desert Rose - Ship Bare Root

Desert Rose, also known as Adeniums, is a flowering plant that originates from Arabia and Africa. This popular plant can be grown as a houseplant or as a bonsai tree and thrives in temperate and tropical regions. In African tradition, Desert Rose sap, which contains poison, has been used for hunting, although it is only harmful if it enters the bloodstream. To protect yourself from irritation, it is advisable to wear rubber gloves when handling the plant.

Desert Rose is well-known for adding vibrant colors to gardens and homes, with the most common flower color being red. When growing Desert Rose, it is important to consider a few factors. While the plant can tolerate drought, it still requires regular watering after the soil has dried. Like most plants, it does not thrive with excessive watering. Additionally, Desert Rose needs full sunlight to grow properly. Regular monitoring is necessary, as the plants are prone to drought and can attract spider mites.

As mentioned before, the sap of Desert Rose is poisonous, especially if it directly enters the bloodstream. It is essential to always wear gloves when handling the plant. However, Desert Rose is a low-maintenance houseplant that only requires sufficient sunlight. Its blooming flowers add a lively atmosphere to both homes and gardens.

At 9GreenBox, we take pride in homegrowing and caring for our Desert Rose plants. Our aim is to provide quality service to our valued customers. Desert Rose plants produce abundant trumpet-shaped flowers in various shades, including pink, rose, white, and yellow. They can be grown indoors or outdoors, making them a beautiful addition to any garden. The flowers can grow up to 2-3 inches in diameter and can be single, double, or triple.

Growing Desert Rose plants is relatively easy, as they require minimal attention. Simply place them in a spot with full sunlight. Water the plants when the soil is dry, but reduce watering during winter to prevent overhydration. It is recommended to keep the plant at a minimum temperature of 50F and to plant it in a pot so that it can be moved indoors during the winter season.

Taking care of Desert Rose plants involves managing pests such as mealybugs. These insects can be eliminated by touching them with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol. There are also insects that create web-like coverings on the leaves and buds, although they may not be easily visible. A strong jet of water can be used to remove these pests if your Desert Rose plant is mildly infested.

Pruning is necessary to maintain a healthy Desert Rose plant. In late winter or spring, when new growth emerges, prune off any cold-damaged portions of the plant. Pruning before the expected flowering period encourages abundant flower blossoms.

When purchasing from 9GreenBox, please note that the Desert Rose plant you will receive is live and will be shipped bare-rooted, without a pot.
