Baby Desert Rose advice was created by StevieC

Hi guys
New to the forum and a complete bonsai amature so would really appreciate all the help and advice I can get.
I have two new Desert Rose growing from seed, planted back in spring.
Both looking really good.
Our winter is just starting here in Ireland so I'm hoping they can make it through.
Here is all the advice I've collected so far so feel free to throw all the do's and don'ts and if you think I've missed anything just shout....

-Keep indoors on south facing window.
-stop feeding.
-water monthly.

I know they go into a dormant state but do 1st year seedlings loose their leaves?
The smaller of the two seems to going that way with some leaves changing colour. I've added a couple of pics so I hope this helps.

Thanks. Looking forward to hearing from people.

You would be better in a houseplant forum as there do not make bonsai, however if you do a search you will find plenty of information on Adenium obesum. Yes they lose leaves and flowers in winter. Watering must not be to a schedule, so when dry it probably needs water. During the dormant time fertiiser should not be added, but these are only my guesses and what I found when I looked.
