Adenium

They benefit from warmth, plenty of light and protection from cold. Leaf drop can accompany dormancy or a change in conditions, so watering should follow the plant's activity rather than a fixed schedule. Explore the plants in our Caudiciformes category too.

General care

• Light: Plenty of light and gradual acclimatisation to sun during active growth.
• Watering: Water during growth and reduce during dormancy, watching the leaves and new branches.
• Compost: Free-draining mix and a pot with room for the roots, without standing water.
• Temperature: Protect from cold, especially when the compost is damp; provide moderate warmth while growing.
• Maintenance: Support branches when necessary and avoid exposing the caudex suddenly.
