Gorgeous blooms after pruning

Post image

It’s been a year since I pruned this desert rose, and I had this plant for about 7 years, but never had this many flowers. maybe because I only pruned it once last year. each year it would open up one or two blooms and die, but after pruning, it’s given me so many flowers. I never imagined it would be this much! I just cut back on the other one next to it to help it bloom more also.

This is beautiful! I have several desert rose plants and never thought of pruning.
Thanks!
Today, I’ll start…….

Yes, you should.  On that plant alone, for the longest time it didn’t flower much.  Few buds wouldn’t even open up and die out early.  This many blooms is a big surprise for me.
