Bring Exotic Colour Indoors with the Desert Rose

The Adenium obesum, or Desert Rose, is a succulent flowering shrub celebrated for its dramatic, bulbous trunk and dazzling pink, trumpet-shaped flowers. Hailing from the dry savannahs of East and North-East Africa, this plant naturally adapts to indoor environments, offering year-round attraction in a compact form.

Why Choose Desert Rose?

• Striking Display: Enjoy deep green leaves and showy flowers on a sculptural base – a true talking point for any plant lover.
• Long Flowering Spell: Expect blooms through late spring and early summer, with potential for a second flush between September and October.
• Built for Low Maintenance: As a drought-tolerant succulent, the Desert Rose thrives with little fuss in homes or conservatories.

How to Grow & Care

• Light: Needs bright, direct sunlight – south-facing windowsills or conservatories suit it best.
• Water: Allow soil to dry between waterings. During active growth or flowering, water more regularly but avoid waterlogging.
• Soil: Prefers free-draining, sandy compost. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.
• Temperature: Keep above 10°C year-round and avoid cold draughts; protect from frost.
• Pruning: After flowering, trim back to promote bushier growth or shape the plant. Remove side shoots if you want a more upright structure.

Usage & Styling Ideas

• Excellent as a statement indoor accent or grouped with other sun-loving succulents, cacti, or aloe.
• Ideal for bright conservatories, sunrooms, or as a living sculpture on a sunny shelf or desk.
• Pairs well with Mediterranean plants like lavender or rosemary for a themed display.

FAQs

• Q: When is the best time to repot my Desert Rose?
  A: Repot in spring before active growth begins, using a free-draining succulent mix.
• Q: How often will it flower indoors?
  A: Typically from late spring to late July and sometimes again in early autumn, if kept in good light and regular feeding during the growing season.
• Q: What should I do if leaves start to yellow?
  A: Yellowing is often due to overwatering or insufficient sunlight. Move to a sunnier spot and reduce watering frequency.
