History of Adenium obesum (desert rose)
Adenium obesum, also known as the desert rose, comes from the dry regions of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. It belongs to the dogbane family (Apocynaceae) and is known for its thickened, water-storing trunk (caudex) and its striking, trumpet-shaped flowers in pink, red or white. This succulent houseplant is particularly popular with bonsai enthusiasts, as it is easy to shape. As a houseplant, under the right conditions it often flowers profusely and regularly, usually in spring and summer (roughly April to September).Adenium obesum often flowers more readily than Adenium arabicum, but has a somewhat slimmer growth habit with a less pronounced caudex.
Flower colour:
-
Usually bright pink, pink or red, sometimes also white or multicoloured, depending on the variety.
-
The flowers are funnel-shaped, striking and reminiscent of oleander.
Requirements for flowering as a houseplant:
-
Very bright, sunny spot – ideally direct sunlight (south-facing window or outdoors in summer).
-
Warm temperatures – ideally 20–35 °C.
-
Sparse winter rest – cool (approx. 12–15 °C), with hardly any watering, so that it gathers strength for flowering.
-
Well-drained substrate – cactus soil or a very mineral substrate prevents waterlogging.
-
Regular feeding in spring/summer (but sparingly).
Care as a houseplant:
- Light: Very bright spot with direct sun; the more light, the better the growth.
- Temperature: Ideally 20–35 °C; avoid temperatures below 10 °C.
- Humidity: Low humidity is ideal; tolerates dry room air well.
- Substrate: Very free-draining substrate, e.g. cactus soil with sand or pumice.
- Watering: Water moderately; the substrate should dry out completely before watering again. Be sure to avoid waterlogging!
- Feeding: Feed with cactus fertiliser every 4 weeks during the growing phase.
Care as a terrarium plant: (dry terrarium)
- Location: Only suitable for dry terrariums with strong lighting.
- Substrate: Sandy, free-draining mix for optimal root aeration.
- Humidity: Very low humidity preferred.
- Watering: Very sparingly, as too much moisture can cause root rot.
Overwintering tips:
In winter, Adenium obesum should be kept at a minimum of 12–15 °C. Water less during the dormant phase and do not fertilise. This extraordinary houseplant impresses with its sculptural growth and exotic flowers.

Blüht und hat noch viele Knospen, die auf weitere rote Farbtupfer an trüben Tagen hoffen lassen.

Pflanzen nach Erhalt umtopfen lohnt sich...
Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis tiptop. Verpackung war super und die Lieferung auch schnell und problemlos. Ich hab das Adenium nach Erhalt überhaupt nicht gegossen, weil ich es umtopfen wollte. Dabei die Überraschung: das Adenium hatte einen ziemlich feuchten Wurzelballen und zwei Wurzeln waren schon angefault. Hab alles zurückgeschnitten und desinfiziert. Sie steht nun in Cactuspon und ich hoffe, dass sie sich erholt!
