Other Common Names and Scientific Name

The Adenium obesum belongs to the Apocynaceae family and is native to Africa and the Middle East. Its swollen trunk (caudex) stores water, allowing the plant to thrive in dry climates. Its large, bright flowers bloom in shades of red, pink, and white, offering a captivating contrast against its thick green leaves. Known as the “Desert Rose,” it has gained popularity not only for its exotic looks but also for its resilience and low-maintenance requirements. This makes it a perfect addition to homes, gardens, balconies, and professional landscaping projects across Kerala and beyond.
Care Instructions
- Use a well-draining cactus or succulent soil mix for best results.
- Water moderately during summer; reduce watering in winter.
- Place in full sunlight for vibrant flowering; partial shade is tolerated.
- Prune branches during growing season to encourage a compact shape.
- Fertilize lightly once a month during the active growth period.
- Avoid overwatering, as the caudex is prone to rot in soggy conditions.
