The Desert Rose (Adenium obesum) is a striking flowering succulent known for its thick, sculptural trunk, glossy green leaves, and beautiful trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of pink, red, white, and sometimes multicolour. It makes an excellent bonsai-style houseplant for bright, sunny spaces.

Lighting

Very bright light; ideally 6+ hours of direct sun daily.


Watering

Water thoroughly, then allow the potting mix to dry completely before watering again. Water less during dormancy.


Soil

Use a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix amended with pumice or perlite.


Temperature

Prefers 20–35°C. Protect from cold and keep above approximately 10°C.


Growth and flowering

Slow to moderate growth. Usually flowers in warm, sunny conditions and may drop leaves during winter dormancy.

Plant care tips

  • Pot selection: Choose a pot with drainage holes. Unglazed terracotta can help the soil dry faster.

  • Fertilizer: During active growth, feed with a diluted balanced fertilizer or bloom fertilizer every 2–4 weeks.

  • Pruning: Prune during warm growing weather to encourage branching and a fuller shape. Wear gloves.

  • Propagation: Can be grown from seeds or stem cuttings, although seed-grown plants often develop a more impressive swollen base.
