Hi Devin! Thank you for posting this tutorial! I have 3 desert rose plants and I needed to know how to care for them in the wintertime. Love your channel! ❤️❤️❤️

Thx for the solid advice!
And you can keep them growing in winter. I planted mine in October, 4 months later they're 30cm. Using a tent, 20-22C, 18hrs light, only like 80W per square meter.

Just found your tutorials today while researching my new desert rose. Thank you so much! Going to give the pretty little thing a new improved pot today! ❤️

To keep feeder roots you should water in winter (once every 1 or 2 months), if you dont give rhem water those roots will die off. When summer starts, those dessicated roots will start to decompose and that will increase the chance of root rot. This is not meant as a criticism, but to explain part of why you don't want it to dry out completely :)

Thanks Devin. Definitely the best video for the desert rose care. And the most professional. You obviously know what your talking about!

[gianisaerialuniverse-jnnp]

gREAT INFO. Thanks. I am using cinnamon and also sulfur dust. Been doing lots of pruning.. Wife hates the mutilation:) I use a hairdryer or electric fan overnight to dry out the DR. I learned this from cacti cuttings over the years. They are completely dry overnight.

[chelseaburkett]

So thankful for all the information!!! I didn’t even know what plant I had and now I can properly take care of her to bring her to full potential!

[michellepinkney]

Wow. Great info. I’m a new plant parent and I’m so excited about my desert rose. Just replanted it. And anxiously waiting to move it outside. Thanks.

[sharonpalmer]

Thanks for all the info! I am a beginner desert rose lover.ha. I’m trying to read and hear all I can to produce more branches and flowers. You are so clear and knowledgeable! Looking forward to further info!

Glad I found you! I just picked up 4 adeniums from a nursery and had NO idea what to do with them! I’ve watched some of your videos and have 3 dormant and 1 semi awake. I’m in Texas where we don’t have a lot of cold so hopefully I can get them back outside soon. Thank you again for the info!

[lanamphone]

Great source of info, I’ve been obsessed with these plants for two years and grow my own from seeds. Have not tried cutting the tap roots yet, will next Spring!
