Adenium Obesum – Desert Rose
These stunning flowering plants will provide you with beautiful blooms as long as you provide them with plenty of sun and a well-draining soil mix.
Plant Care
Light: Full Sun–give this plant the brightest spot in the house, or in summer months, keep it outdoors. A south-facing window is ideal.
Watering: Only water when the soil appears very dry, as overwatering can quickly kill these plants. Be sure to let all the water drain out, as these beauties will not tolerate sitting in water. Cut way back on watering in the winter as the plant is dormant.
Temperature: 8-32°C.
Potting: A well-draining mix is ideal for this plant. Our Savvy Succa would be a great fit. We recommend potting this in terracotta to keep it on the drier side.
Hot tips: Sunlight and warmth are key for beautiful blooms on this plant.
Pet Friendly: Nope, nope, nope, this highly toxic plant is not the plant for you unless you can put it far out of reach from animals and small humans; its toxins can be ingested with just one lick.
