This Adenium obesum or the ‘Desert rose’ has a chunky thick bulb like trunk called a caudex which the leaves sprout from. Will flower with bright pink blood in the Summer. Native to Sahara tropical and subtropical eastern and southern Africa and Arabia. Re-pot every 2-3 years for a super healthy plant.

RATING- Easy-Moderate

LOVES-Feeding through the Spring and Summer (but do not feed in Winter) Water roughly once a week keeping the soil moist but not soggy- however allow the soil to dry out between watering. Reduce in winter. Keep in a bright position where possible, with a few hours of sunlight which can be increased as the plant matures.

HATES- Soggy and wet soil- this will lead to root rot and could encourage pests.
