Seed - Desert Rose

Desert Rose (Adenium obesum) are from the striking Adenium obesum, grow into sculptural plants with thick, swollen trunks and vivid, trumpet-shaped flowers. Native to arid regions of Africa and the Middle East, this succulent shrub is a favorite among collectors and bonsai enthusiasts for its dramatic form and vibrant blooms in shades of red, pink, and white.

Start seeds in a warm, humid environment using well-draining cactus soil. With adequate heat and light, germination occurs in 7–14 days. Once established, the plant thrives in full sun and infrequent watering, developing its iconic caudex shape. Ideal for containers and warm indoor spaces, Desert Rose adds exotic flair with minimal care, as long as overwatering is avoided.
