Bring all of us prosperity

Adenium obesum 'Pink'
[Desert Rose]

Desert Rose is a succulent bush with thick fleshy branches. The 'obesum' name refers to the large fat base of the plant. If left without added water and no rain for a long time or after a cold night, your desert rose can lose most or all of its leaves. Never fear, they will re-grow after watering or after warm weather returns. Position Desert Rose in full sun or some afternoon shade for best flowering, but use even less water in partial shade conditions. Select an acid soil mix with plenty of peat moss and organic elements and coarse sand. Be certain the soil mix and the pot drain very well.
