Desert Rose

Desert Rose, also known as Adenium obesum, is a tropical succulent  and is named after the beautiful flowers it produces, which resemble roses.  

The desert rose is a plant with a slow growth rate of 12 inches per year. It is commonly used as a bonsai due to its thick succulent trunk, delicate leaves, and beautiful deep pink flowers. Originating from Africa, the Middle East, and Madagascar, this plant is a member of the dogbane family and its sap is toxic to humans and animals.

Maximize the desert rose's growth by placing it in a sunny area. Whether indoors on a bright, south-facing windowsill or in a protected spot outside with ample light, this plant will flourish. Just make sure to shield it from direct mid-day sun to prevent damage to its delicate leaves.
