Hi Maria, You are amazing and so knowledgeable!! Thank you for sharing your many years of dessert rose experience!!

im addicted watching your video Maria, im here in LA, now i want to have dessert rose, ill let you know when i already have. ill have to learn more form your lectures. thank you so much

Maria! I love how you explain and your accent! So charming!

Thank you Maria! My desert rose and I appreciate your help!

Very informative. Enjoyed it. I have 2 plants to try to save. I'll keep you posted.

I knew nothing about dessert roses until I found you. I am learning such a lot. Bless you ❤

Thank you so much. I have DR that is the "Old Grand Dame" of my collection. Huge base, 3.5ft tall. She got root rot when I put her in a new pot 😱 She's hard as a rock, except one big root. I'll take your amazing advice and perform surgery to save her. Thank you, thank you Doctor!

Ty, so much, Maria. I have recently discovered my love of desert roses and I found two with remarkable color. One is a deep purple and the other is, red with black edges. I’m still learning to care for them, but afraid they may need some tic because their trunks are getting a bit soft. Ty, for showing me that they can likely be saved, if the root rot is the issue, but hasn’t spread too much. This gives me a great sense of relief. Ty.

Maria, you are amazing. I had root rot on my desert rose. I’ve just try your technic and crossing my finger that I’ve safe it in time.

I like how she handles the plants🌱. You work very fast and do a good job saving all the plants. I try to learn from you. God bless you🙏 take care of yourself sweetheart💕

You are expert to save desert rose. Thanks for your video.

You are so good ! Thank you once again.

Maria, I love watching you, please explain what cinnamon does when you use on the Desert Rose.. one of my favorites. Just discovered a bean sprout on mine, tied it so I don't lose the seeds..so excited waiting for sprout to split so can harvest. Keep up the good work and God bless.

What a wonderful soul you have to love your plants the way you do

You are a fighter!👏🏻❤️

Thank you for sharing. I think you are awesome.

O_o I’m so trying this right now, the previous owners put a dessert rose on a drip irrigation system and I was thinking this whole time it was cause the frost. But now 🏃🏼‍♀️ 💨 I think the roots are being compromised by all the water. Glad I came across your channel.

Hi MARIA 🦋🥰 Thankyou for your videos 🦋🥰 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Maria, one of my Desert Roses has a ranch that turned brown and was hanging...I cut it off - I thought maybe something banged it. Then today another has it- I was SOOO UPSET! I looked it up and Found You - thank Goodness!!! and I believe it is Root Rot and I’m treating g it for that. I ever water my Desert Roses but it is rainy season here in Bonita Springs Florida snd we have had quite a bit of rain. I have them planted in half soil half sand as I was told...can you tell me about if they need fertilizer? I am going to check and clean anything I see on the roots and follow your video. I Hope it saves my plant🙏🙏🙏

Amazing explaination....👩‍🎓👩‍🎓👩‍🎓..Maria

Very good! You shared a lot of information what others wouldn't have shared keep it up

Maria I have a double bloom white dessert rose that I thought had aphids and I sprayed Neem oil on it I has lost all of its leaves. What can I do to save this plant.

That is one beautiful baby right there, Maria i am struggling with one of my plants im sure it has root rot im trying to let it dry as of now i hope i can save it, It was so strong and big

You are Awesome!

Help! I have an adenium with root rot. I cut it and cinnamoned but got a white cottony mold or something where it was cut. So I resterilized my shears and cut it way up higher. Do I recinnamon and repot once healed or? Thanks!!!

I use a bread knife and a small fruit knife for my pruning. Stainless steel and easy to clean. I'm just starting to repot and shape my few plants and I'm excited to see if I succeed. I'm happy to see you chopping out bad bits on the plant. I've been too delicate 😂

Oh yeah I buy my cinnamon in 5 on containers on Amazon thanks to you!!!! 😊😊❤

Maria, is it possible that after you apply the cinnamon and 10 wait days, you could fill the cavity with the wood glue?

I have a desert rose thst had some root damage. I followed your recommendations but after 3 weeks, the caudex remains kind of soft. I planted and watering, but the caudex is still soft. It as it has a small bloom, but I am concerned if I should wait longer. Any suggestions of what to do?

Maria I’m in Australia and for about 6 months of the year we have hot dry weather around 100f- 120f. I’m finding the plats are going super dry with the hot sun 🌞 so I have been watering my babies when the soil runs dry around 3 times a week. They seem happy but will this kill them or do I need to adjust watering advice for my climate? Also we have had several days this summer where the temperature went to roughly 120f, probably hotter in the direct sun. I cooked some seedlings 🌱 last scorcher and killed them so I have been moving all my desert roses into a shady spot for this kind of extreme weather. Is it too hot for adult plants in full sun on days like this or just too much for seedlings?

Thank you so much! I live in Louisiana and I’ve been having a small desert rose plant in a pot for 4 years. It grows very slowly and now has root rot. I will try to save it like you recommended. I bring it indoors in the winter and have never repotted it. It has never bloomed but has silky beautiful long leaves in the spring and summer. Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated. 🙏

HELP ME MARIA!! My neighbor moved and left me her badly neglected Desert Rose! - it is a big plant that was hanging out of the pot, I repotted it a month ago, it started getting leaves back and a few flowers but some of the branches were soft so yesterday I trimmed a few and noticed Root Rot!! I carved it out and half the plant broke off. Should I pull the remaining plant out of the pot and dry it for 3 weeks till it s dry and hard? Will it survive? I feel so bad and want to save it!!

Good afternoon Maria, I'm Brazilian, I liked your video

THANK YOU MARIA! I LOST 2 DESSERT ROSES WHEN I REPOTTED THEM 2 WEEKS AGO😭. THEY GOT ROOT ROT BECAUSE I WATERED THEM AS SOON I REPOTTED. I HAVE ONE LEFT THATS 7 YEARS OLD I REPOTTED AND IT GOT ROOT ROT. WATCHING THIS VIDEO IS GONNA SAVE IT! YOU GAVE ME HOPE FOR ONE🤞🏽! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! I HAVE ONE QUESTION. AFTER I REMOVE ALL THE ROOT ROT AND PUT CINNAMON, WHERE DO I PUT THE PLANT TO DRY OUT? DO I PUT IT IN A AREA THAT IS COMPLETELY SHADED OR DARK COOL PLACE? OR A WELL LIT AREA WITH NO DIRECT SUNLIGHT? THANK YOU AGAIN AND I CAN WAIT TO HEAR BACK. YOU ARE AMAZING!!! 💚🪴

Lovely yaar....I was frustrated my 5 plants got root rott. ...now I am confident that I can save them

Maria bendiciones Maria. Gracias por su sabiduria. Yo compre un desert rose hace menos de un mes. Hace Como 2 semanas me di Cuenta k esta poniendose Amarilla. Pense que Era por Mucha Agua y pare de darle Agua y nada. Despues le puse Agua y ahi fue k me di Cuenta k se pudrio tdo 😭 tuve k costar hasta el caudex. Sera que aun pueda sobrevivir mi planta. La vrdd no kiero k se me muera 😔

Very informative to protect plant

Hi Maria, thank you so much for this video I learned a lot I have a very very nice very expensive desert rose that the roots got rotten in the middle of the caudex. So I did what you were doing there I cut it to become very very short but there still a lot of rot in the middle so I dug the middle to have a like a big hole like probably 2 inches coming to the branch but I was able to clean it and I put a lot of cinnamon on it and I’m pressing if it is soft I still Dig a little bit I use spoon so now it’s clean and I hang it. my problem is I don’t know how to put it in a soil because I cannot cut it anymore because i will be cutting the branches and it will be gone already. it’s very very short I almost hit the branch so now I would probably wait for three weeks for it to dry, I hang it in the shade and under it there’s sun, but on top I hang there’s a shade and I don’t know how to put it in the soil because there’s no root since I cut everything please, help me how to do this if I put it in a soil if it is already dry then probably that dry thing will get a little bit of water if a repotted. how do I do this please help me. thank you maria. ❤️❤️❤️

Thank You, now I just need to know what soil to put it back in...

Hi if I do not have cinnamon, can I just leave it like it was after taking the root rot? Thanks

I have had my desert rose for a year. I repotted it today and noticed there were a bunch of black ants in the soil. They were trying to make a hole in the main stem where I cut the plant when I got it. I sealed the cut with cinnamon and glue at the time. I decided to wash off the roots and remove all the soil to get rid of the ants. I noticed some slight root rot after the roots were all cleaned up. I have been following the advice in your videos! Hopefully my plant (Bulby) recovers well! Glad I caught the root rot early! Thanks!

thank you Maria

Aren’t they poisonous too handle them without glove this way ?

Thank you so much! I shaved the rot out and used my cinnamon and let her get all dried out and I think she gunna make it! It's a little dry right now. But I'm not going to let that freak me out. About how long does it take to get your desert rose to get re hydrated and how often should I be watering it if it's like that?

Praying that this will save my plant child! Tomorrow she gets a cutting and left to dry somewhere cool and dark 🙏🤞

Very nice information

Dear Maria - my desert rose was exposed to rain for too long. I took it inside but the damage was done. I had to remove large parts of the roots and the base of the plant. I followed the instructions in your very helpful video. Only two small sideway roots are now left. As there was a lot of rot, all big roots are gone. Do you think it can recover from that? I saw that some people even grow desert roses from cuttings so technically, it should be possible, right?

Like from India.....

Hi Maria, I come from Australia and love watching your video. I am trying to rescue my plant from root rot after watching your video and I am do everything the same as you but after 3 days the cudex is still getting very soft and yellow yellow. Do I have to this when the weather is warm or I am doing something wrong?

Hi Maria, can i know if we can use back the same soil (where the rotten root adenium) was planted in? If yes, is there anything we need to do before using back the same soil to plant the adenium? Thank you.

Maria wonderful u r genius, can we grow adenium hydroponic way?

O Maria I need your help. Today I went through and checked my Desert roses three of them are a little soft. This is the wrong time to repot them but I am afraid to wait till fall. I live in Leesburg FL. I will write more later after I take one out of the pot.

Hi Maria, i am from Malaysia, my baby Desert rose about 3mth have root rod about 20pcs ....i very sad, i guess it becoz using the wrong fertilizer and is rain season... i will follow this to safe the baby plant . Thks again....

My desert rose, the trunk is soft and squishy. Not root rot. I kept it on the dry side. The leaves are green, but I trimmed it and followed your directions with cinnamon and glue where I cut. I watered it really good today. Should I remove it from the clay pot ???

Hi Maria! I’ve just adopted a plant from my sister who had it in a small vase root bound! And then after a few days of repot, I noticed soft caudex in a small area. Am I still able to clean the rot out while it’s in a vase right now? Or should I take it out again? It’s flowering right now and it’s got some yellow leaves. I believe it’s in shock already. Your help is greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

Hi Maria, I come from the Netherlands (Holland) and I have a desert rose with white flowers (adenium obesum). I bought it in a garden store, I don’t know how old the plant is, but I have it for a year now and it’s always standing inside the house on a sunny spot. I think my plant has root rot.. a part of the trunk gets really soft and it’s turning into a darker color. I want to save my plant. My question is, what’s the best way to dry my plant (after I cut out all rotten pieces and put a lot of cinnamon on it) and can I dry it inside the house? Do I have to lay the plant down on a towel somewhere in the shades or do you hang them somewhere so they can breathe? We also have a hot summer right now, and sometimes we have long rainy days. Temperature is going up and down. I don’t know if the plant will make it, but I can always try. Thank you so much for your information, I couldn’t find anything on dutch websites.

Where in South Florida are you ?

I just cleaned all the root rot and put cinnamon all over my cleaned plant. I’m here in Texas.... should I put it in the storage shed or leave it out to dry? It’s very hot and I think the shed gets very hot and humid. Not sure if that’s good for the plant? PLEASE HELP MARIA, 🙏🏼

Can we use hair dryer after putting cinnamon power at cut area for instant drying and plant in soil without water?

Please tell me what kind of the powder you apply after cutting. .? Many thanks from Vietnam

maria, are you saying when a dessert rose is dehydrated it needs water, or not to water. I haven’t water it but it is getting soft. Ohio

Hello Maria! I need help with my desert rose, it lately hasn’t bloomed or anything and I noticed most of the branches are dry and rotting. The trunk is still healthy and green but I’m afraid it’s going to die, what can I do to save it?

Please help!!!! Im afraid that my dessert rose is suffering. I took it out to repot it and all the roots that were in the soil are soft. What do i do?? Its been drying in the garage for a week with cinnamon. The leaves are falling of. Do i cut the soft roots off?

Hi Maria. I got a desert rose as a gift. I repotted it about two weeks ago. I watered once when i repotted. Now the ball is a little soft. Do you think its root rot?

My desert roses aren’t growing! I got them as a baby shower take away so I think they are at least 6 more 7 months old and seem stunted! Also they aren’t branching off but continue to grow new leaves from the one branch.

Miss maria hello from sarasota fla. i know ur busy so i can wait long time for ur answer .my question is i replanted my baby yesterday and i tore a big piece of root ( i think thats what it is) can i plant it and will it grow? ty very mucch

Should you store desert rose away from the sun or shade in it's recouping phase? Thank you!!

Everything looks good.. Would they be soft if dehydrated ? The roots look a little like a prune

what is cinnamon for .. ?

Hi Maria I have a desert rose plant but it was in my garage during the ice storm and it looks bad now. I'm wondering..do you think it can be saved?

I really would like to buy a large desert rose from u.do you ship to Los Angeles?😎

Explain the benefits of adding cinnamon to the plant please..

Hi Maria ! My desert rose bloomed and fell off and still has green pedals but I think I see root rot what should I do to save it ? I wish I can show u a pic of what my desert roses look like do u have a email ?

I just subscribed. I'd forgotten to do so 🙄😬😍

Nice

Hi Maria. I actually don't live too far from you. I'm from Ft. Myers and just came across your video. I just got a desert rose and planted it in my garden bed last week. It was doing fine but the last few days the leaves started getting brown spots and some leaves turned yellow. Can it be I overwatered it? Or is it root rot?

Hi Maria what kind of cinnamon you use??

Super

bravo

Hello my friend. Great video!! Can you add some of those beautiful succulents behind you to your website so we can buy some? :)

Hi.... my desert rose caudex some time I touch it soft. 1 to 2 days it hard again. N it going soft again. On and off? Any idea ?

How do you know how long to leave it drying
