Desert Rose

Desert Rose (Adenium obesum) is a striking, drought-tolerant succulent known for its thick, swollen trunk (caudex) and vibrant, trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of pink, red, and white. Native to arid regions of Africa and the Middle East, it thrives in warm, dry climates and requires well-draining soil, full sun, and minimal watering. Its unique bonsai-like appearance makes it a popular choice for container gardening and indoor décor. Though beautiful, Desert Rose contains toxic sap, so caution is needed around pets and children. Proper care encourages lush blooms and a sculptural, eye-catching form.
