    •   Adenium Obesum 'Shada' is a rare desert rose succulent from the arid regions of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, where it evolved to store water in its dramatic, swollen caudex. This fat caudex succulent belongs to the Apocynaceae family and is prized by collectors worldwide for its sculptural trunk and extraordinary blooms.

        Adenium Obesum 'Shada' grows in a striking upright, tree-like form with a thick, bottle-shaped caudex that widens at the base and tapers into branching stems. Leaves are glossy, deep green, slightly leathery, and arranged in loose clusters at branch tips, making this shada desert rose succulent instantly recognizable as something truly special on any shelf or windowsill.

        Adenium Obesum 'Shada' produces vivid, funnel-shaped blooms that emerge most freely during the warm growing season, and a noticeable drop in nighttime temperatures is what encourages the plant to set those buds reliably. The flowers draw pollinators and may produce pollen, so those sensitive to allergens should take note when Adenium Obesum 'Shada' is in full bloom indoors.

        Adenium Obesum 'Shada' is a genuine collector's gem and thrives as a striking indoor statement plant or a patio feature moved outside for summer, where extra sun and warmth fuel strong growth. Because its sap can cause skin and paw irritation, it should always be kept on a high shelf out of reach of pets and best placed away from small children. Cats and dogs shouldn't be left to nibble or eat the plant, and its deep root system means a heavy, stable pot is essential to keep this upright grower from tipping.

    •   Adenium Obesum 'Shada' thrives in bright indirect light, partial sun, or full sun, but can scorch in intense south-facing windows during peak summer.

        Water Adenium Obesum 'Shada' deeply every 10-14 days in summer, reducing to once a month or less in winter when the plant rests.

        Adenium Obesum 'Shada' prefers a fast-draining mix of cactus soil blended with perlite or coarse pumice to prevent root rot.

        Adenium Obesum 'Shada' prefers temperatures between 60-95°F (15-35°C) and should never be exposed to frost or prolonged cold below 50°F (10°C).

        Adenium Obesum 'Shada' is a moderate-grower that benefits from a balanced, phosphorus-rich fertilizer applied monthly during the active spring and summer season.

        Adenium Obesum 'Shada' is hardy in USDA Zones 10-11, where temperatures stay reliably above 30-35°F (-1 to 2°C), and it cannot survive hard frost. In the United States, these zones include Hawaii, South Florida (Miami-Dade, Broward, and the Florida Keys), the southernmost tip of Texas along the Rio Grande Valley, and parts of coastal Southern California including San Diego. Gardeners in Arizona's low desert valleys, Nevada's southernmost communities, and coastal areas of Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia may also successfully grow Adenium Obesum 'Shada' outdoors with careful frost protection during brief cold snaps.

    • Q: How often should I water Adenium Obesum 'Shada'?
      A: Water deeply every 10-14 days during spring and summer, then cut back to once a month in fall and winter when growth slows.

      Q: Is Adenium Obesum 'Shada' safe for pets?
      A: Cats and dogs shouldn't be left to nibble or eat Adenium Obesum 'Shada', and its sap can cause skin and paw irritation, so keep it on a high shelf well out of reach.

      Q: How much light does Adenium Obesum 'Shada' need?
      A: Adenium Obesum 'Shada' performs best in bright indirect light to full sun, ideally near a sunny east- or west-facing window indoors. Rotate it regularly for even, balanced growth.

      Q: Can Adenium Obesum 'Shada' go outside in summer?
      A: Yes, Adenium Obesum 'Shada' loves spending summer outdoors in a warm, sunny spot, but bring it in before temperatures drop and always provide cover from heavy rain to protect the caudex.

      Q: How rare is Adenium Obesum 'Shada'?
      A: Adenium Obesum 'Shada' is considered a rare cultivar among desert rose collectors, making it a highly sought-after addition to any succulent or caudex plant collection.

      Q: What pot size is best for Adenium Obesum 'Shada'?
      A: Because Adenium Obesum 'Shada' develops deep roots and a heavy caudex, choose a sturdy, heavy pot that won't tip and allows room for the root system to expand comfortably.

      🌵 For Succulents
      When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
      Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
      Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
