9 Common Reasons Why Roses Fail to Bloom
Hi! I believe the desert rose needs direct sunlight for most of the day to bloom. Also, have they outgrown their pots? Good luck!
Keep soil moderately moist in spring and summer, but reduce watering in fall and especially winter when the plant is dormant. Fertilize with a dilution by half of a 20-20-20 liquid plant food once per month when the plant is actively growing. Do not feed the desert rose during winter.
Thanks everyone. I tried putting them outside for two hours in direct sun, ut their leaves burned and fell off. They have great light inside my home. Very bright skylights they look healthy, I’ll just keep waiting. Thx for input.
