Desert Rose (Adenium obesum) Indoor Outdoor Plant

🌵 Desert Rose: A Popular Houseplant

The Desert Rose, scientifically known as Adenium obesum, is a beloved houseplant and bonsai in temperate regions. It is a succulent plant with a swollen base, or caudex, that stores water. With proper care, including sufficient sunlight and well-draining soil, this plant can live for decades, sometimes over 50 years.

🌞 Plant Care Instructions

• Sunlight: Requires at least 6 hours of full sunlight per day.
• Watering: Drought-tolerant but needs regular watering (7-10 days) during spring to early fall. Water occasionally or not at all in winter.
• Fertilizing: Use a water-soluble fertilizer at half-strength fortnightly or monthly during the growing season.
• Pruning: Prune in early spring to remove dead or weak branches and encourage new growth and flowers.

🌱 Care Tips

To ensure the health of your Desert Rose, avoid soggy soil. Pruning new shoots encourages multi-branching. Follow these care instructions for a thriving plant.
