The Desert Rose is a stunning succulent shrub native to arid regions of Africa and the Middle East. It's prized for its thick, twisted trunk and showy, trumpet-shaped flowers that range in color from pink and red to white.
Light Needs: Desert Roses thrive in full sun, so they should be placed in a spot where they can receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. They can tolerate some light shade but may not bloom as profusely.
Water Needs: Water your Desert Rose sparingly but deeply. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, especially during the dormant winter months. Use a well-draining potting mix to prevent waterlogging, as these plants are susceptible to root rot.
Humidity Needs: Desert Roses prefer low to moderate humidity levels typical of their native desert habitats. They are well-suited to dry indoor environments but benefit from occasional misting during hot, dry weather.
