During spring, the Desert Rose exits dormancy and begins active growth. This is the ideal time to place it in full sunlight, water more consistently, and apply a balanced fertilizer. Repotting is also recommended in spring, using a fast-draining soil mix designed for succulents. Proper Desert Rose Plant Care at this stage encourages vigorous roots and abundant buds.
In summer, the plant reaches peak performance. Provide at least six hours of direct sunlight daily and water deeply only when the soil is completely dry. Overwatering during hot months can cause root rot, so restraint is essential. Lawn by Season recommends sheltering outdoor plants from heavy rainfall to maintain healthy roots.
As fall arrives, growth begins to slow. Reduce watering frequency and stop fertilizing to help the plant prepare for dormancy. Some leaf drop is normal and not a cause for concern. Consistent Desert Rose Plant Care during fall helps prevent stress and disease.
In winter, the Desert Rose enters rest mode. Keep it in a warm, bright location and water sparingly—once every few weeks is often enough. Avoid cold drafts and damp soil, as both can damage the plant.
With the right seasonal approach, Desert Rose Plant Care becomes simple and rewarding. By following these guidelines from Lawn by Season, your Desert Rose will remain healthy, sculptural, and beautifully vibrant year after year.
