Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this"

Desert Rose (Adenium obesum)
Hybrid: Folded Yellow with Pink
Flowering: Flowering can be obtained on young plants, only 15 cm tall. Flowering usually occurs in Spring, with the possibility of successive flowering in Summer and Autumn. It emits yellow flowers that are folded with a slight white streak on the petals.
The desert rose is a succulent herbaceous plant with a sculptural appearance and exuberant flowering. Its stem is thickened at the base, an adaptation to store water and nutrients in arid places. Originally from Africa and the region, it is from the Apocynaceae family and can reach 3 meters in height if left to grow freely. It has leaves arranged in a spiral and grouped at the tips of the branches.
You can find more than 5,000 types of desert roses!
It must be cultivated in full sun or partial shade, in perfectly draining, neutral, sandy soil, enriched with organic matter and irrigated at sparse and regular intervals. Does not tolerate cold below 10ºC or waterlogging. Despite these drainage requirements, it is not good to leave it too long without watering.
