Description
A tropical evergreen succulent shrub from the dogbane family, the desert rose is a popular garden or indoor plant with striking fat tubular pink or reddish flowers. Also known by its scientific name Adenium Obesum, this plant is native to the Sahel regions as well as the subtropical & tropical regions of Africa, & Saudi Arabia. Soil requirement: Any well-drained soil, like a sand-soil mix or perlite rowing medium; a quality cactus potting mix would work as well. Even though it is considered a low maintenance plant, according to experts, the desert rose is pretty sensitive abt its watering needs. If you let the soil become too dry, its flowers might drop off, & if the water remains soggy all the time, its roots will rot. During the dry summers, water once every day when it is cool, like early in the morning, or in the late afternoon. When the rainy season comes, reduce this frequency depending on the amount of rain. The soil should remain moist, but never turn soggy. Apply the water directly to the soil, avoiding wetting the leaves. Never set the plant in a container of water, or allow any kind of waterlogging at the plant's base, as it might be harmful to the roots.
