How Much Sunlight Does a Desert Rose Need? Simple Tips for Bright Blooms!
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with this desert rose plant for a while now, and let me tell you, figuring out its sunlight needs has been a bit of a journey. I started off not really knowing much, just that it’s called a “desert” rose, so it probably likes the sun, right?

Initially, I placed it in a spot that I thought was sunny enough. It got some direct light in the morning but was mostly in the shade the rest of the day. The plant was alive, sure, but it wasn’t exactly thriving. No flowers, and the leaves looked a little sad, if you know what I mean.

How Much Sunlight Does a Desert Rose Need? Simple Tips for Bright Blooms!

Then, I did some reading online – a lot of different stuff, but mostly saying these plants need at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight, some even said 6-8 hours. So, I decided to experiment. I moved the plant to a south-facing window where it could get blasted with sunlight for a good chunk of the day. Honestly, I was a bit worried about it getting scorched, ’cause I read that could happen too.

  • First week after the move, I kept a close eye on it. The leaves seemed to perk up, and the whole plant looked a bit more… robust?
  • After about a month, I really started to see a difference. The leaves were greener, and it even started to bud! I was stoked.
  • Now, it’s been a few months, and the thing is flowering like crazy. Turns out, these desert roses really do love their sun. It’s like, the more sun, the happier they are. I’m guessing that it is now getting at least 6 hours of good sunlight every day, maybe more on some days.

I also learned that you gotta adjust things a bit depending on the season. Like, in the winter, when the sun isn’t as strong, I might need to move it to a different window or even think about a grow light. But for now, in the summer, it’s all about that direct sunlight. And I noticed that the color of flowers become brighter and brighter.

So yeah, that’s my experience with figuring out how much sunlight a desert rose needs. Basically, give it as much direct sun as you can, but keep an eye on it and make adjustments when needed. It’s a bit of a learning process, but definitely worth it when you see those beautiful flowers bloom!
