I planted some desert rose seeds for the first time and to keep it alive I read that you could try and graft other leaves on it. I have thus far been unsuccessful, can't figure out a good way to put other leaves from desert rose into the small cut I put on the albino guy. Anyone else have any other info? Currently have 2-3 in the process of dying desert rose leaves to spare, Looks like root rot, currently repotting them in better medium.

Very difficult for them to survive if they dont have any chlorophyll, a variegated plat have some of it but an albino usually cant make photossynthesis and die unless it can parasitize other plants

Oo. If I were uproot and tangle another desert rose’s roots with it would they share nutrients?
someone mentions reallly delicately placing a leaf in the incision I make around the base of the plant and securing it with pantyhose hoping that the tree will heal the leaf to itself. Unfortunately this guy was finished growing many weeks ago

The only real hope is the graft it onto normal root stock but that is very difficult with something so tiny unless you happen to have a older plant around to make things easier.

There are actually a few different ways to tackle the specifically tiny. Thanks to the internet I managed to find a few example pictures so can work out which might be best suited to your situation.

Google picture search didn’t bring much up so then I tried a bing picture search for “graft desert rose seedlings” and shockingly that awful MS search engine won 😂😂😂.

Tried this grafting technique but I probably needed to do this a month ago. Albino bebe was already on its path to destruction
