Desert Rose Blooming?

I repotted my Desert Rose about 4-6 weeks ago in succulent soil. I live in central Florida, zone 10a, and she gets full sunshine. I read that she might need phosphorous to help her get to blooming again. Can I use baking POWDER for that supplement? I used Miracle Gro all purpose plant food (liquid) when I repotted her. She is 4 years old.

If you repotted 4 to 6 weeks ago and added fertilizer then, I recommend waiting to fertilize again. I have not heard of using baking powder instead of phosphorus.
