desert rose
Why is my desert rose (Adenium) not flowering?
This desert rose looks leafy and healthy but is probably getting too little strong sun and/or too much nitrogen-rich fertilizer, which makes leaves instead of blooms. Give it several hours of direct sun, let the soil dry more between waterings, and switch to a low‑nitrogen, higher phosphorus and potassium feed to encourage flowers.
What are these big white fuzzy bugs on my plant leaves and how do I get rid of them?
Those white, cottony clumps are sap‑sucking insects, most likely woolly aphids or planthopper nymphs, not mold. Rinse them off strongly with water, then treat the plant with insecticidal soap or neem oil and repeat weekly until they’re gone.
