Ugghh I have so many of my classic (original purchase) grafted desert roses have root rots or stem rots!
Thankfully these are the grafted ones, which if I totally can't revive them it will still hurt but I can at least buy the replacement since these are grafted. This is why, my goal next year is to propagate cuttings of my multipetals and my own seedgrown multi-petals as back up. I' m getting good with grafting so that is a plus.
I only have a few more weeks before our spring is here so if the original plant will not survive, I am hoping the cuttings would, then I can graft them to my own seedling.
Anyways, happy times some blooms to start our new year!
I bought this deep red single petal, which reminds me of Sweetie Pie and this is seed grown Arabicum hybrid (fuzzy leaves underside but dark green wider leaves and multibranch), nicknamed "Strawberry Pie".
More blooms:
These are blooms of my "mystery seedlings" from supposedly multi-petals:
Based on my own seedling from a multi petal "Rainbow Diamond" the seedlings can definitely bloom single petals:
