The Arabicum Adenium, often referred to as the Desert Rose, is a striking succulent known for its thick, caudex base and vibrant, trumpet-shaped flowers. Native to the Arabian Peninsula, this hardy plant is admired for its unique, sculptural form and stunning blooms that come in shades of pink, red, and white. Its exotic appearance and resilience make it a popular choice for bonsai and container gardening.

Plant and Care
Planting: Arabicum Adenium thrives in well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix. Choose a pot with good drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. Place the plant in a location with full sun to encourage robust growth and flowering.

Watering: Water the plant thoroughly when the soil is completely dry. During the growing season (spring and summer), water more frequently, but reduce watering in the dormant period (fall and winter) to prevent root rot.

Feeding: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength. Avoid fertilizing in the dormant period.

Pruning: Prune the plant in early spring to shape it and remove any dead or damaged branches. Pruning also encourages branching and more blooms.

Pest and Disease Control: Arabicum Adenium is relatively pest-resistant but can be susceptible to mealybugs, spider mites, and scale insects. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil to treat infestations. Ensure proper airflow around the plant to prevent fungal diseases.

Temperature: This plant prefers warm temperatures and can tolerate high heat. Protect it from frost and bring it indoors if temperatures drop below 50�F (10�C).

Propagation: Arabicum Adenium can be propagated from seeds or cuttings. Seed propagation is slower but results in unique plants, while cuttings can produce flowers faster.
