Anacampseros rufescens aka Sand Rose

With its straightforward care requirements, Sand Rose is a hassle-free plant that anyone can enjoy.

Sand Rose does best in dry soil and should only be watered sparingly.

To ensure the health of your Sand Rose, it's crucial to use a potting soil that won't hold too much moisture. A soil that drains well and contains perlite or vermiculite for drainage and organic matter for nutrition is ideal. Adding a few handfuls of perlite to store-bought cactus soil is an easy way to create this type of soil mix.

To ensure optimal growth, the Sand Rose prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

Sand Rose is poisonous if ingested. We suggest keeping this plant out of reach if you have children, cats, or dogs in the home.

Sand Rose prefers dry environments, so misting the plant to provide extra humidity and allow water to linger on the leaves can create an ideal environment for fungi that can be harmful.

The growth rate of Sand Rose is slow and it doesn't necessitate additional fertilizing. By changing the soil in its pot annually, the plant should be provided with adequate nutrition. It is crucial to keep in mind that plants derive their energy from the sun, not fertilizers.

Sand Rose’s native range is Southern Africa and Central America.
