After Anni graduated from UT she moved to California to attend graduate school, and she gave me her desert rose and ivy. Five years later, I still have both plants. I am most proud of my ability to take care of the desert rose. It needs lots of sun, neglected watering, and my secret ingredient: liquid seaweed. My mother-in-law is a certified Master Gardener and she first told me about the benefits of using liquid seaweed as a fertilizer; it's organic and plants love it. Go to an organic nursery or order it off the internets (I can't find it at Home Depot or Lowe's) and feed your favorite plants every two weeks according to the directions on the liquid seaweed bottle and you'll be amazed at the results.
I find great satisfaction is making my part of the world as beautiful as possible.
Is that picture your plant? It's beautiful - the picture and the plant.
