I have two Desert Roses - A. Obesum, together in one pot. One is quite a bit bigger than the other. The smaller one started losing leaves, while the big plant's foliage remained perfectly intact. I was wondering how this occurred in identical soil and light. Then I thought the small plant must be going into dormancy, the only explanation I could think of being that it was more susceptible to a cold snap than the bigger Rose. Could this be the case? I just checked the roots, and they seem perfectly healthy, both the same. Is it possible the small Rose went partially into dormancy, just losing a portion of its foliage, if that occurs?
Okay so my question is, simply, should the smaller leaves with some leaves shed be kept in full sun? Does the answer hinge on any of the following factors: the species, the fact that about half foliage remains (should I wait to see if it continues shedding), the temperature, or the time throughout the day exposed to full sun? Thanks in advance, for your perspectives...
