Here is my Broken desert rose from last year.
She has grown Nicely and is beginning her blooming stage.

When this blooming stage is done I will Prune her back a bit so she will be shorter and fuller.

wow, she recuperated very, very well!!! good job, diane!!!

you can cut the branches back - a lot - and that won't hurt anything. actually will keep it 'bushier'.

I was Hoping you'd pop in here Joclyn to see how it was doing,, grin

I watch a video on Utube about pruning them back,, But that guy cut his branches it way down,, shock AND he said the cutting could be started for New plants. I will try it when I cut it back,, and will let you know if the cuttings take root, why * I'll have to go back and see what he said again, it wasn't by grafting them though,*

Hello...
\First, I assume the plant is healthy, and merely broke off ?? If so, try the following:

1) first keep what is in the pot and care for it as if nothing is wrong--it could well keep growing.....and

IMO I think you should try to root the part that broke off.

do this:
2) Take the piece that broke off and do the following:

Dry the cutting for 48 hours in a warm, dry place.
Fill a pot with half peat moss and half sand.
Dip the stem in rooting solution and poke it 2 inches (5.1 cm) into the soil.
.... If you do not have 2 inches in the stem, just poke in around half, or so....
Mist the stem with a spray bottle every 2 days.
Put the pot in a location with 6 hours of indirect sunlight per day.

Good luck! and let us know how things go.
