I am new to Desert Roses and have watched so many you tube videos that I am completely confused. All info is based on one's zone. I would greatly appreciate any pointers/information that anyone has to share on caring for them specifically in Zone 7B. What time of the year to transplant, what time of the year to prune, what time of the year to plant seeds, when to bring inside for the winter, etc.
I bought three plants in May of 2020 and each of them bloomed a little but most of the time the buds turned brown and fell off. They were getting around four hours of late afternoon sun a day.
I also transplanted all three into 10" dish planters the end of August. They appear to be doing fine although most of the leaves dropped of one. I am hoping that it wasn't the wrong time of the year to transplant them and that they will be OK.
I want to try sowing some seeds inside over the winter in a bay window that gets just a lttle morning sun. There is a grow light in the window that I can turn on if needed. Has anyone planted seeds in sand?
Thanks in advance for any tips!
