Now after two years of growth they are beginning to bloom, and THEY ARE ALL RED (some with Pink as well) and they are not as pictured when I purchased the seeds! What's happening? I trust the sellers, both of whom are well reviewed (but not on this subject). Is it the climate (I'm in Central America), water, soil, liquid fertilizer (Miracle Grow). I sold some to a local nursery (that was my intention with all of them) and they report back (good naturedly) that their's too are all in "the red" range. This is a disappointing as I meant them for local nurseries to sell. . . but they mimic the only native desert rose here (and the only one available until I thought I could fill this niche) are red. One would have to hold them close together to see a slight difference. HELP! I’ve been growing 1000s of desert roses from seeds and have about 50 different varieties.

It's been something that I've wanted to do for ages for my little garden veg patch. I'm thinking of putting it behind my hut where it doesn't get much sun.

I have one, I have had it for 1.5 years. I had it almost flowering until my husband brought it in the house for me to enjoy its flowers-but then it never did bud and all the leaves fell off. I pruned the plant back and started to get more leaves. I realize that it did not have enough sunlight. I don't get sunlight in my bathroom but I get direct bright light and it is humid. Would it do well in the bathroom? I just wanted to know if anyone can give me tips on how to get it growing again. Thank you kindly, doddie Hi Just wondering if anyone can help me with my desert rose plant. I have one, I have had it for 1.5 years.
