Desert Rose - Adenium Obesum - Indoor Plant

Light

Adenium obesum thrives in bright, direct sunlight.

Watering

In the Growing Season (Spring-Summer): Water the plant thoroughly when the soil is completely dry. Allow excess water to drain and never let the plant sit in water as it can cause root rot.
In Dormancy (Fall-Winter): During the cooler months, reduce watering significantly. The plant will enter a dormant state, and too much water during this time can be harmful.

Soil

Well-Draining Soil: Use a cactus or succulent mix, or create a mix by combining regular potting soil with sand or perlite.

Temperature

Warm Climates: Adenium prefers warm conditions, ideally between 65°F to 90°F (18°C to 32°C). It is sensitive to cold and should be protected from temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
Frost Protection: Bring the plant indoors or to a sheltered spot if temperatures drop.

Humidity

Low Humidity: This plant thrives in dry environments and does not require high humidity. Keep it in a well-ventilated area.

Fertilizer

Balanced Fertilizer: Feed your Adenium a diluted, balanced fertilizer during its growing season (spring and summer). A 10-10-10 or a fertilizer specifically for succulents works well.
Frequency: Fertilize once a month during active growth but stop feeding during the dormant winter months.

Pruning

Shape and Health: Prune Adenium in the early spring to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Always use clean, sterilized tools to avoid infection.

Repotting

Every 2-3 Years: Repot your Adenium every couple of years, ideally in the spring. This will give it fresh soil and allow you to inspect the roots for any signs of rot.
Pot Size: Choose a pot with drainage holes, and only slightly larger than the previous pot, as Adenium likes to be somewhat root-bound.

Toxic to pets and children: Yes
Air purifying: Yes

Return and refund policy.

Once your parcel is delivered, we recommend opening it right away. Should any unexpected issues arise, please report them immediately to info@rebelplants.co.uk
Because plants are perishable and delicate, we do not accept returns except in cases of damage. Since every plant is unique and growth is seasonal, the plant you receive may differ slightly from the one pictured on our website.

We do accept returns on plant pots, accessories, vases, dried flowers, and plant prints. These items must be returned undamaged within 14 days of delivery. Buyers are responsible for return shipping costs and packaging. Once we receive the item in unused and undamaged condition, we will process your refund, excluding the original and return shipping costs.

If the item is not returned in its original condition, the buyer is responsible for any loss in value. Additionally, if your return brings your order total below the free shipping threshold, the standard shipping cost for your original purchase will be deducted from your refund.

For any return questions, please reach out to us at info@rebelplants.co.uk
