Watering A Desert Rose Plant

Question

I have looked everywhere to find out just how much water to give a desert rose. All i can find is water it 2/3 time a week, but that doesn’t tell me how much to give.

Answer 1

You will give it as much water as it takes to see it running out of the drain holes. Ideally, you will have a container with adequate drainage holes, and a saucer to catch extra water. Once water starts to flow out of the bottom and into the saucer, you can stop. After a couple of minutes you will need to throw out the extra water in saucer.

Water every time your soil is dry down to about halfway into the container.
