If you want to get lots of bloom out of your Desert Rose you need two thing, first you need a high phosphorus fertilizer, Desert Rose uses a lot of phosphorus to produce blooms but one thing to have in mind, from time to time you have to water it a lot enough for water to come out the bottom for a few minutes to avoid salt build-up and second lots of sunshine, this induces bloom while the contrary produces growth, the more sunshine the closer the leave grow together and the less sunshine the more separation of leaves giving a lanky week look with no flower on it.
