Many specimens develop large twisted roots of interesting shape. Branches can be formed with a wire and cut or pinch their growing tips to make the plant branch and maintain a compact look.

Reproduction:

 Desert Rose is propagated by seed, graft or cuttings. Seeds are sown in the spring, spreading superficially on a special soil mixture for germinating seeds. Seeds germinate easily. Seedlings do not require special care. Numerous hybrids are propagated mainly by grafting on rootstocks obtained from seedlings. Plants grown from seeds, most often at a young age, develop powerful caudex. Cutting is best done in spring. It is necessary to cut off the top of the shoot, let the slice dry for one or two days, and then plant the cutting in the lower heated pot filled with coarse-grained soil mixture. The soil should be kept wet.
