1 The desert rose only needs watering when the soil feels dry. 2  In the winter, it only needs water every three or four weeks. 3  This lets it be dormant so it can bloom better in the springtime [source: Sidhe 4  ]. The desert rose can be fertilized once a month in the spring and summer. A layer of gravel below the soil and another above it helps prevent stem rot [source: Plant Care 2  ]. The desert rose can be grown from seeds or from stem cuttings. 3  Let the stem cuttings dry out before planting.
Plant spacing. Place a desert rose at least 2 feet from nearby plants-more if you can. Come in from a walk or driveway about 3 feet to allow for future growth and so that fallen blossoms don't make a mess on the pavement.These are superb as container plants, and the container can even be added to an eclectic garden bed.ven in summer, though, the plant is more stems and blooms than foliage. Slow growing desert rose can grow as much as 4 feet tall...but that takes quite a while. And a light spring pruning for fullness, shape and more flowers will keep the overall size much smaller.
