Thank u @docthrill I'm really proud of this one

So happy about this #desertrose and I'm not even a flower girl

Ta da!!! #desertrose #flowering

Beautiful 😍

💖

That’s a nice one. Glad you can grow them in your area. They don’t like cold or wet. 👏

I have to bring it In over the winter and at that time it lives in my foyer that has fluorescent lights on 24-7 in the summer its on a covered porch so it doesn't get too wet @philstalder

So after a long wait it's happening and I couldn't be more excited. @brightcolours I literally found this the day I was talking to u about yours. #desertrose

Wait I'm crazy lol Iooked back and apparently this did flower before. How did I forget that? I was literally so excited lmao lol. I'm nuts

I’ve done the same Heather! 🤣

Her little chunky but it's filling in with leaves I really really hope I get a flower this year. Doubtful tho #desertrose #newgrowth

So many #blooms #desertrose

These #blooms are everything I hoped for!! #desertrose

After years of waiting it finally happened. Omg!!! It's so nice and there's more buds. I am so happy!! 😁 😁 #desertrose #desertroseflowerbud #flowering

More #desertrose buds these look a little more pink. I can't wait to see them

I'm not sure I have ever been so excited!! My #desertrose is about to bloom and it looks like it's gonna be red. I cannot wait

A sign of spring! My #desertrose is coming out of #dormancy. I really hope it flowers this year. Cant wait to know the color. Take a guess. I'll go with pink.

Ever since i moved this to the hallway where all my cacti and succulents are the leaves that are left look super healthy and shiny. Hopefully.it does ok till summer #desertrose

So Shes losing all her leaves. Is This normal #plantquestion #desertrose

Have u recently repotted the plant ?

@cyndi thanks for mentioning ❤

Yes @jyotu I did and I lowered the soil to show more of the caudex. I went a little lower than I read to do but I was eager. I put it in a much more shallow pot and smaller pot. It does have drainage. Also I dont know how much sun it was getting before since it was in a store so its getting alot more light. Do u think those are the reasons? And is this ok if the caudex feels firm and looks healthy isnt that the most important part?

@heatherdirtyhands leafs always drops after repotting and caudex exposure is okay but u need to choose a big pot for it. Keep watering the plant time by time and check the caudex. A strong and hard caudex means a healthy plant.

Thank u so much and what relief. It is super hard! The stems arent so much but they are newer so thats ok right? Also so u think it needs a much bigger pot? I kmow its supposed to be shallow tho right? Like u dont want it too deep with a ton of soil. @jyotu

How often would.u water one this size? I know there are certain factors but isn't it true when its younger and you're trying to get the caudex bigger u should water more often? I have been letting it dry out before I do tho

@heatherdirtyhands growth is at least okay, your plant is good one. Nicely pruning with good nutrition can turn the plant into a biggie in no time. I keep mine plants in open under sky 24/7, they get sunlight, rain everything in summer. I do water mine everyday as soil gets dry most of the days.

Check some posts of mine then u can understand the pot size. And always do root reduction when u repot the plant. Also use fungicide in soil while repotting and if there's any scar in the plant.

Top of my chunky #desertrose cant wait to see what color it is

Found a nice thick #desertrose with a fat #caudex for a really good price hope I get it to flower

One of these is on my list
