Desert Rose

Adenium obesum (desert rose) is a succulent shrub or small tree known for its striking appearance. It has a swollen, bulbous base (caudex) and attractive, glossy leaves. Its flowers are typically funnel-shaped and come in a range of colors, including pink, red, and white.

Native to arid regions of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, the desert rose thrives in dry, well-drained soils. It is well-adapted to hot and dry climates.

Tolerates high temperatures but should be protected from frost. Requires minimal watering; overwatering can lead to root rot. It's important to let the soil dry out between waterings.Needs well-draining soil, such as a mix designed for cacti and succulents.
