Adenium obesum | seedlings - Desert Rose- Mystery flower colors Nice Caudex Plant

The Desert Rose. Adenium obesum is one of the most variable species, even in habitat. Ranges from a shrub to a small tree with a range in the caudex of all shapes and sizes. Grown for succulent bonsai, the beautiful bases can be lifted and staged, and the flowering amount and duration increases exponentially with age.

These are all mixed up, grown in house from seed, that either were labeled incorrectly or not at all during production... Sigh... They all still need homes though.

 They could be anywhere from white singles to pink triples to black to yellow to red... and few lucky people will get rainbow or purple.

 Who knows! That's half the fun, seeing what you get.

Dormancy:

This plant is winter and drought deciduous. If you purchase this plant in the late fall/winter/early spring, it will not have leaves. As it starts to warm up, you can water more frequently to encourage it to start growing new leaves. 

Even during spring/summer/early fall, this plant may still drop leaves in transit. This is normal and expected. When plants are put in a stressful situation, which includes being bare rooted and put in a dark box for a few days, it is going to conserve as much energy as it can. It does this by dropping its leaves. Once it arrives, please pot it up, give it a good drink, and keep it in a shady area for about a week while it starts to recover. You should see new leaf growth within 1-2 weeks.
