Desert Rose — Care Guide

A striking, sculptural plant with a swollen trunk and bold blooms, Desert Rose is perfect for sunny balconies, windows, and warm Cairo homes. It loves heat, light, and dry soil — making it one of the easiest statement plants to keep happy.

💡 Light

Give it full sun for at least 4–6 hours daily.
The more sun it receives, the stronger the trunk and the brighter the flowers.

💧 Water

Water sparingly.

• Let the soil dry completely before watering again.
• In winter: water very lightly every 3–4 weeks.
  Overwatering is the only real enemy — always check the soil first.

🪴 Soil

Needs a fast-draining, sandy, cactus-style mix.
Avoid heavy or compact soils — roots rot quickly if moisture stays trapped.

🌡️ Temperature

Thrives in warm, dry weather (25–35°C).
Protect from cold drafts — do not expose to temperatures below 10–12°C.

🌸 Blooming Tips

• Give it maximum sunlight.
• Avoid frequent repotting.
• Keep watering minimal in winter.
• Feed lightly during warm months.

🔄 Repotting

Repot every 2–3 years, only if roots fill the pot.
Choose a pot with excellent drainage holes.

🌿 Placement

Balconies, sunny windows, terraces, or warm indoor corners with strong daylight.
