Growing Information

The Desert Rose prefers full sun exposure and well-draining cactus or succulent soil. It requires low to moderate watering, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. Suitable for USDA zones 10–11, it can be grown indoors in cooler climates. Mature plants can reach 3 to 6 feet tall with a thick caudex base. Blooming occurs from spring through fall under warm conditions, showcasing flowers in shades of pink, red, or white.
