Adenium is a genus of flowering plants in the family Apocynaceae first described as a genus in 1819. It is native to Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.
Adenium plants should have a mixture of cactus soil with gritty sand or lava rocks for good drainage.
The Desert Rose (Adenium obesum) is a drought-tolerant succulent. Read our tips on Desert Rose care.
This plant thrives in high-light conditions, soaking up sunlight to produce beautiful blooms with pink and red flower color.
The Desert Rose enjoys a nice, warm rainy season, but when cool weather comes, you'll need to cut back on watering.
Adenium obesum is a poisonous species of flowering plant belonging to tribe Nerieae of subfamily Apocynoideae of the dogbane family, Apocynaceae, that is native to the Sahel regions, south of the Sahara, and tropical and subtropical eastern and southern Africa and Arabia.
As its name implies, the desert rose plant is used to naturally dry, desert-like conditions. This holds true for its love of light and warmer temperatures, as well as its need for sandy or gravelly soil that is well-draining. The soil should boast a neutral to acidic pH, hovering right around 6.0 ideally.
It does need high nitrogen to flower. During the growing season, feed desert rose bonsai monthly with a water-soluble, slow-release 13-13-13 fertilizer. Grown as bonsai, desert roses prefer a constant supply of low dose fertilizer rather than infrequent high doses.
Desert Rose Cutting Propagation.
Take a cutting from the tip of a branch. Allow the cutting to dry out for a day or two, then wet the end of the desert rose cutting and dip it in rooting hormone. Stick the cutting into a well-draining growing medium like perlite or sand mixed with soil.
The desert rose only needs watering when the soil feels dry. In the winter, it only needs water every three or four weeks. This lets it be dormant so it can bloom better in the springtime. The desert rose can be fertilized once a month in the spring and summer.
