55113Q.Can I Use Regular Potting Mix With Lava Rock To Plant My Desert Rose
That is all I have is regular Miracle Grow potting mix and a bag of lava rock. Do I just put a lava rock at the bottom and potting soil on top to plant this desert rose I have? It's still a baby.

Certified ExpertA.If you can, purchase a bag of perlite and use equal parts perlite and potting soil. I don't think the lava rock will provide adequate drainage. (If you can pound it into tiny pieces it might.) Desert rose is susceptible to root rot so care must be taken to ensure the soil is well draining.

34233Q.White Desert Rose Seedling
I have about 50 desert rose seedlings that I grew from seed from the pond of my desert rose plant. Eleven of the seedlings are white, or pinkish-white. Does that mean they are going to die? They are about 3 weeks old and look just as strong and healthy as the normal seedlings. How old should they be before I try grafting them?

Certified ExpertA.Those seedlings are likely just not filled in yet. They should gain their color fairly quickly.
Grafting can be done when the seedling is about 1 cm in diameter. It should be noted that seedlings are usually faster than grafting in this specific case. I would only use the strongest of the seedlings for this purpose.

Certified ExpertA.I assume you mean 'repotting'.
This, along with overwatering has likely caused the problem.
When repotting, it is very important to only pot up into a container that is just an inch or so larger. Anything larger than this and there will be too much soil that does not have roots. This will remain wet for long enough to contract an infection.
Unfortunately, your photos did not come through and I cannot see the damage.
Without seeing the state of the plant, I will be unable to know whether it can be recovered or not.
The first thing will be to continue fungicide treatment according to the label. Follow these instruction carefully, as misusing can be a hazard to plants and humans.
Next will be to provide proper care, and make sure to let the soil dry out VERY THOROUGHLY down halfway the container between watering.
With proper care, and continued treatment the plant may survive.
Here are some articles that will help:
