Maria, you are a gem. Thank you for this VERY informative video. BORED? Are you kidding? You are a joy to watch!!

I watched the WHOLE video and NO, it is NOT TOO LONG!!! You are a very special human...it's easy to tell how much you love both your babies and your friends. You are so enjoyable to watch and I always learn so much from you. Thank you for all you do.

Love learning from Maria!!

Maria, you are da bomb. I have learned so much and been so entertained. I can’t wait to watch the next video.

Thank you, Maria! I was using the wrong soil for my two desert roses and they both experienced root rot. I cut one a little wonky, but the other is thriving. Fingers crossed its ugly sister will survive, too!

I'd never get bored of your videos,no matter how long they are. Your friend Alyana

Thank you, Maria. I've had desert rose for 3 years and everything I know about them I've learned from you! You are fantastic! ❤

Maria your so down to earth and at your best in your garden, love your channel.

Omg! I about died as you cut all that root off. However, I trust you fully to know what you're doing. Thank you! I pray I never have to do that

Love the plant hair!! 😄😄 You are always a lot of fun to watch! I love how you save all struggling plants, that is one of my favorite parts of gardening, to see a plant that is almost dead, come back to life in full force with just a little bit of tlc! I never give up on a plant, even if it's making me crazy.. lol that just gets me more determined! Thanks for sharing Maria! My middle name is Maria btw!

Love the hair it looks so natural, Great content and information very helpful always look forward to your videos

Hi Maria love your videos and all the advice you give

Love to watch all your videos. It’s informative and you made it fun! I learned a lot from watching your videos! Thank you

Great Video. Looking like the friendly swamp lady with all those plants in your hair.

You should add caster rollers on the legs of your potting table so you can push it around your Nursery. I love your ideas!

Just asked my husband to make me a table too, I think he’s sick of me wetting our outdoor table hen I mix my potting soil for my desert roses 🤣

What a fun video! I just love all your great ideas.

Awww you are so much fun thats why i enjoy your channel beautiful personality. Big thumbs up

Nice plant hair, lol! I LOVE your little baby desert roses, they are so precious at that size! I want some that size so bad, I can't wait till I have some! Thanks a lot for the video, you are always entertaining and informative!

Very very helpful! Thank you Maria. I may have a problem with one of my desert rose. The caudex felt soggy and soft.. I take it out from pot already, outside look good but it feels soft. I may have to cut it and follow this video to help it.

Love your videos! I’ve been having some trouble with desert rose. I transplanted one from Home Depot and planted it in gritty cactus soil. Very little organic materials. I noticed the caudex becoming soft so I watered and it caused root rot. Before I transplanted it the caudex was rock solid. I was worried about the 100% coir it was planted in so thought it needed repot. Big mistake! The caudex was size of a softball so I am very bummed! Trying to save it now with cinnamon and cut away the bad spots on caudex. I have hundreds of succulents and tropical plants but seem to have trouble with desert roses! Glad I found you! Very Knowledgeable and entertaining! If possible could I send you a photo of my adeniums?

Love the recycled table.... And the your hair today is beautiful! 😘

Maria, you are never boring. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You have such a big heart. Happy Holidays to you!! May God bless you ❤️❤️

I look forward to your videos. They are soo inspiring and informative. Your spirit is amazing, I can watch you for hrs. Love you, y muchos abrazos - Anna from NYC

Hi Maria, great video. All the research I’ve done suggests that cinnamon alone is one of the best root stimulates available. Good luck saving those babies.

Hi edagdwg thanks for sharing like your hat have a great day peace Linda j ☮️❤️ ❤️💯 💯

Great video thanks for share!

Greetings from Pensacola- after recently discovering you and hearing you teach about Desert Roses - I saw some at Home Depot and bought my first 2 Desert Roses. It was until I bring them home and discovered the soil was pretty damp (wet). Plant is about 12 inches in height so I buy the kind of soils you recommend and bought a clay pot and was going to repot because the soil in the pot was not the kind that seems to drain well. After feeling the the plant it was hard until going down near where the soil line is and the plant felt a little soft compared to the upper half of the plant. Is the plant starting to rot if it is getting soft around the soil line and also the leaves look a light yellow in some of the leaves. Should I try taking it out of the wet soil and let it dry out before repotting in the soil you recommended and if they have long hairy stringy roots- should they be cut back like you are showing in this video or just leave the roots alone.

Ok, I inherited a rather old and large Desert Rose and when I repotted it, I noticed there was rot on the roots. I cut off all the rot that I saw and once it was calloused over I put it in fresh soil. The stems were very long and leggy and some of them looked dry at the ends, so I started trimming. Almost all of the stems I cut had brown in the center. Do I need to treat the stems the same as the roots and cut them back until I don't see any brown in the center of the stems?

I cut the whole bottom of my DR plant off due to root rot. Covered the cut in cinnamon as you said in order to save my plant. Now its been 8 days, do I rinse the cinnamon off now before dipping in root growth or leave the cinnamon and dip as it is?

Hi Maria! I have one I’m going to try this with. I as well have a seed pod, I created a net like you did for yours. I have a question about those seedlings that you’re planting, after you cut some of the bottom off should I put cinnamon on them too before Planting ?

Mother nature, in the flesh! Love it. 😊

Miss Maria, I think I killed my baby. I did overwater and the poor baby was rotten. I was only able to save literally 4 tips about an inch long. I'm going to do my best to save them. Do you think they even have a chance? Very much appreciating you!

Im from Missouri and its winter here...i cant out mine outside its below zero. I cut all the rot off and put cinnamon on it and have it sitting out to dry...should i put it under a gtow light?

Enjoy watching your videos! 💗

Hi marias garden. i had to cut half the caudex and all the roots off my desert rose due to root rot, will it still survive?

Hi Maria.we would never be bored with you.you are so much fun and I learn so much from you.

Love the ‘do’ 🌿

I love your flower pen mama.

Nice working table .. I like that watering can under your working table ..great video as always !! P.S. it's raining in my area in Central Florida ..

I love your hair lol. Your energy is amazing.

Great stuff. I just cut the rot off a D Rose bottom rot I had 20 years after leaving it outside in upper 30s. I now have bonsai it. I first dried it in sun then put an electric fan on it. I learned that from cacti, it dries them out fast! The question is, how long does it take for it to grow roots???

Maria my two small desert rose are dying I don’t know what to do to save them? The Caudex is very wilted...can you please advise....

Hi Maria... How old are your little plants in the video? I am trying to grow D.R.'s from seeds starting last June (2018) and my babies are far smaller than yours. I am wondering what I am doing wrong. My babies are only about 3 inches tall and the caudex is about 1/4 the size of your babies caudex in the video. Thanks... another great video!

I like you because my name is maria you remind me of my self thank for the knowledge y la sonrisas tiene buen humor.

Hello Maria, My desert rose is feeling soft from the roots to 3/4 up the plant. Is it still possible to save the plant.

Maria you Awesome.

We received several days of rain and i noticed my stalks were soft. I removed the plant and checked the roots and they are mushy. Is the plant dead?

Looking great. 😁

Hello Maria, greetings from Ghana. Thank you for the informative videos, I've really learnt a lot from you. Can you please make a video showing how to identify different species of desert roses. I really want to collect different types and I don't want to make the mistake of buying the same type when there are no blooms on it. Thank you in advance.

Hello Maria! I love your video. I watch them all. I would love to have a desert rose plant. How do I buy from you?

Great job...what mounth do desert roses bloom

Maria what type of glue you used on the plants.

María! Será que en algún momento habrán videos en español? Saludos

So glad I found you!! If the whole stem is soft is it to far gone? The leaves still look good but the bulb with the roots and the stem are soft

Omg - I love you. Thank you xx

hi Maria, you are so funny! good to see you!!!

Good information, Thank you.

I love that table 😍

Hi Maria, greetings from Hialeah florida, I always learn with you, you are very special, I really like adenium obesum I have 8 but,I would like to collect more ,,,Kisses Maria ♥

Where do you get the black tray from?

Love the hair today..I have a question. A real nice lady gave me a silver queen begonia. It's very nice. However its 3 feet tall with few leaves. I want to cut it back and make babies from it but I am afraid I will kill it. Can you help show me how to propegate this very over grown plant please?

Lovely mam

Does Maria’s Garden sell baby Desert Roses or recommend where I can purchase them.

Thanks Maria

thank you Maria!! :)

Hi Maria! I love your channel so much:) I’m thinking of ordering and new desert rose baby from you and was wondering if you’re still sending an extra plant with a smaller caudex?

Question, my plant is squishy? How do i fix it

Love your hats😍

Maria can you show us how to use the soil tester? Thank you.

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 your so funny!!!!! Love it..

Hello Maria, my little one year old desert rose seedling I bought from Amazon is dying. I noticed yesterday that the caudex was very soft almost mushy so I took it out of the pot and the roots were dry but I started trimming them off and the caudex was like watery so I cut off all the roots and the inside of the caudex was watery and mushy, is that the end or can I still save her?

hahahaha! you’re so funny Maria! thats how i enjoy your videos! what is the plant to your right? i like that plant! thanks
