Trimming a desert rose, Adenium obesum, is an essential part of its care and maintenance. It helps to shape the plant, encourage new growth, and remove any dead or diseased branches. Desert roses are relatively easy to trim, but there are a few things you need to keep in mind to ensure you do it correctly.
The best time to trim a desert rose is in the spring or fall when the plant is actively growing. Avoid trimming in the winter when the plant is dormant.
