Desert rose dying - what do I need to do
Comments (2)My indoor desert rose just started doing this this week also, havent changed a thing: water only when completly dry, use a chopstick to see if its damp, AC daytime 75 and night 73, indoors w/southern exposure now (afternoon sun) this was the only new move I did thinking maybe it needs more sunlight. Since i had it in low light before but not sure why my leaves are doing the same as yours? Hope someone answers and for potting mix I use the gritty mix. which calls for more frequent watering than normal but I normally only water 1x or every other week now. I guess I should go back to watering it 1x a month? When I was doing this the leaves didn't change yellow or start to brown on the edges....See MoreWANTED: Adenium (desert rose) any color
Comments (7)senjanevada, just saw your post. tonieb is a good trader. myself and several of my friends/fellow traders (that I know) traded many times with her. the only times she tends to ignore traders is if the trade has gone bad i.e rotten plants, moldy or crushed seeds. thats always upsetting, i can relate....See MoreOT - desert rose problem
Comments (11)I do what Karyn does, I pot the desert rose and plumeria, when they are completely dry, then I move them in the garage. I will not water again, until the spring. Both plants loose all their leaves, but will get them back in the spring when I start to water again. I will then plant them back in the flowerbeds that I dug them out of. This year I left a few to see how they would fare. I think next year, I will leave a few more in the ground, and just bring in the small ones. Barbra,...See MoreDesert rose dying please help
Comments (10)The ingredients for the gritty mix can tough, but if you put some time in, you'll find it. Turface MVP can be found at turf places; places that deal with and/or sell equipment/services dealing with anything turn related, like golf courses, school athletic fields, etc. If you live in an area with either of the two, then there is a place that fits the bill. You can also go to Napa, and get the floor dry stuff that is an equivilant. For the grit, I went to a local farm/big box store (Fleet Farm) and they had plenty of the #2 Cherrystone. Pine bark fines can be tricky. I bascially sent emails to ALL local garden centers and nursuries asking about it. I had it the next day. If you truly want to have good success, you're going to have to try & find this stuff. To reitterate the words of Al (tapla), simply trying to "improve" an already bad soil is futile. The small particles in the bagged soil will make it impossible to improve. And yes, I agree that cutting some screen to put over the holes is a must. Aluminum screen works better then the plastic type. Joe...See Moregreenclaws UK, Zone 8a
