Adenium is a genus of flowering plants in the Apocynaceae family, commonly known as desert rose or impala lily. These plants are native to Africa and Arabia, and they are prized for their beautiful flowers and unusual, bulbous stems.
Adenium plants can be grown as indoor or outdoor plants, depending on the climate. They prefer a warm, dry climate and well-draining soil. They are drought-tolerant and can survive on very little water, but they will thrive with regular watering and occasional fertilization.
The plant produces a thick, fleshy stem that is often used for bonsai cultivation. The leaves are small and glossy, and the flowers are large, showy and range in color from white to pink, red and purple.
Adenium plants require full sun to bloom properly and should be placed in a location where they can receive at least 6 hours of sunlight a day. They can be propagated from cuttings or from seeds.
It's important to note that Adenium plants contain a toxic sap that can cause skin irritation and other health problems, so it's important to handle them with care and keep them away from pets and children.
