PinkFlowerDay / Mi Entrada
I motivated this content because we had a loss of a plant that hurt us a lot, especially my mom @mariae, she knew little about the care of her plant and how much she took it out in the sun and then a little shade, watering and the fertilizer in certain and attentive hours, everything was like a pocket of mocho, totally useless. So here you will find the necessary information for your Desert Flower.

👉 Descripción de la rosa del desierto
The desert rose is a shrub that has very beautiful pink flowers, but can also be red or white. The most characteristic is its stem, which as it grows, it increases in size. That's why its scientific name of obesum, because the shape of the stem reminds obesity. In addition to the curious form, the stem also has a function: it acts as a water reserve. Its leaves are oval, can measure about 9-11 centimeters long and are quite resistant. When the flowers bloom, they look like the flowers of the Oleander.
The desert rose needs to be in full sun. In spite of being apt to cultivate in interior, the best thing is that it is in an area in which it gives a lot of light. In summer, it is recommended to place it in full sun, since thanks to it it will grow correctly. In winter it is necessary to avoid placing it in shady areas.
It does not tolerate very low temperatures, and from 10º can begin to suffer. Therefore, it is best not to grow it in areas where it is cold. It is recommended that in winter, when having less sun time, stay in temperatures between 12 and 15 degrees.
This shrub does not tolerate irrigation very well, so it is necessary to irrigate sparingly, especially during its growth. So, watering every 10 or 15 days will be more than enough. In winter, it will be necessary to reduce the risks, since not having much light you will not need much water. In general, it is better that the soil can dry out and that it becomes wet and flooded.
It is a slow-growing shrub, so you have to have patience to grow it, but with proper care it can flourish twice during the summer. If in winter, because of the cold it comes to lose the leaves, the most probable thing is that it returns to recover them for the following season.
If we grow it in a pot, it usually does not exceed 60 centimeters high, but in reality its size can reach the meter or one and a half meters high.
