Great looking plants but sadly not too familiar with them culturally.

I do know that being African caudiciforms, they do like to be kept warm even in winter. I saw a photo of this one in habitat (or maybe one of the other species) and it looked like it was growing out of mineral quartz!

Someone might be able to give you more info than I can.

There is an Adenium page with 19 pics and cultural info.
