Q.Is My Desert Rose Okay??

Zone 85283 | Anonymous added on July 3, 2021 | Answered

I’ve had one desert rose before and it did not do this. I did not remove any arms, it did this by itself. It flowered once and then decided to take on a live of its very own. It’s getting so tall it can’t support it’s weight by itself!
