Thank you Delonix

As much sun as possible too. They are tricky. I dont recall ever seeing a huge Adenium in ANY yard in the wet or dry tropics. Nothing even approaching wild plants. Yet,they've been grown for decades all over the tropics.

Aleyna:

Congratulations! It is actually a pretty easy plant to grow, just keep them very dry (because it's a desert plant)and they will grow will. The store so much water and food in their caudex.

Stan,

I've seen some very large ones in Hawaii. They can grow to 10 to 12 ft. in the tropics (in their native habitat they grow twice that size or more). There's one a few blocks from me that is maybe 18" tall. It planted in front of a house in the ground and is in full bloom right now. This is very rare for this time of year here. It's been there for maybe 3 years.

I have a 6' (2 m) desert rose posted somewhere in all my thousands of pics on GoY. It was growing out in the Coachella Valley (extremely hot subtropical desert of California)

Not just California,Andy..but nowhere do you see fat bottle Adeniums even in the middle eastern garden's where I would be sure poached old plants have been tried. Since I see no photos of thriving in Saudi or Yemeni gardens..wild plants must be very difficult to transplant.
Pachypodiums- yes....but the Adeniums extreme bottle,very hard to reproduce.

The one that I posted a photo of in the Palm Springs area has a really large caudex. I'm trying to find the photo.

I would think Adeniun would be very easy to transplant. They have a small root-system.

I found the photo! LOL! Unfortunately, it wasn't blooming.
