Description
Light/Soil/Water
Hardiness

Adenium Obesum also known as Desert Rose, is a very rare, striking plant with swollen stems and deep succulent red flowers.

The plant is deciduous in cooler winters, but it can be kept in leaf provided there is sufficient warmth and light water. There is no part of these plants that doesn’t command interest, from the dramatically swollen stems on older plants to the bright flowers to the tight clusters of narrow, green leaves.

Plants may be shipped bare root.

Provide porous soil with adequate drainage, pots with drainage hole are recommended. Bright, filtered light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Never let your succulents sit in water. Do NOT water on the leaves. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour off any excess water after a few minutes. The hotter it is outside, the faster your soil will dry out, so you’ll need to water more often if you live in a hot area. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended periods; protect from frost to prevent scarring.

Do I have a choice what color I’m buying . I own 2 shades of red and pink so I’m looking for other colors

Hi Loraine,
Unfortunately, the color of the flowers are randomly picked. Unless it's blooming season, we can't really pinpoint the color for you.

If I buy a 4" plant with the clay pot, will it also come with sufficient potting soil? Thanks!

SucculentsBox.Com 08/20/2020

Hi Tori,
If you buy a 4"plant with clay pot, it will come with the soil. If you're worried you don't have enough soil, please leave a note at checkout to let us know and we'll add a bag of soil for you.

Are they just mixed colors, or can you ask for a certain color. I have red, looking different color.

Answers (1)

SucculentsBox.Com 08/12/2020

Hi Michael,
Unfortunately we can’t pinpoint the exact color of the flowers until it’s blooming season. So the flower color will be randomly chosen.

You say they come bare root. How would one go about replanting this?

Answers (1)

SucculentsBox.Com 07/21/2020

Hi Ashley,
Thanks for reaching out to us. Since they’re shipped bare root, it’s recommended that you prepare a porous pot and well-drained soil for your succulents once they arrive. To repot the succulents, gently put them in the pot and fill the space with soil. Wait 3-4 days for the plants to recover then give them a good soak of water.
