Adenium obesum - Desert Rose

Magnificent!

Thanks! :>)

I wonder if I can grow this indoors here in New York.

In bright light and kept dry in winter, it should grow pretty well. I have a few outdoors in pots and they like to be kept very dry in winter.

Sounds like my kind of plant.

It truly is a desert plant. It tolerates lots of heat and sun without much water at all.

Love all the shadows in the pic, makes 3D!

Yes, it does. I do like the colors of the wall, also.

Nice pic. I can't wait for mine to flower. Maybe this year???

Alexandramou:

Adenium typically blooms within the first year from seed. It can be grown from cuttings; however, this is extremely difficult. I've tried several times without success.

Hope you are enjoying the holidays. :o)

I am hoping mine will bloom this year. They need a bigger pot, roots sticking out of the bottom. This spring they are going out on my balcony...a sure way to see some flowers!!!

I will post a pic of them soon.

Yes, the holidays are very good so far. :>)

Adenium needs even more sun than Plumeria, as it's a desert plant. My plants, ever since they were very tiny have been outside in my back yard where they get the blasting south sun all year.
