I have a adenium obesum (Desert Rose) for over two years and wonder what type of fertilizer I should feed it

I've been using an organic fertilizer called 'Raingrow'. Probably not available over there but it is a 4-3-2 rating. I think it was on Mr. Brownthumbs site that I read they like a higher nitrogen number and they like neutral or alkaline water.
I think Milky is using a cactus fert for her Adeniums and her seedlings grew enormously this year.

I think the garden centres carry a specialist flowering cacti and succulent feed - make sure, if you find it, that it is for flowering ones though. I forgot to tell you, if you google the plant name Adenium obesum, it comes up with various things - select the Mr. Brownthumb one - its a forum about this plant and has useful info, even though he lives in the States.
