The Adenium arabicum, or Arabic Desert Rose, exhibits a robust, squat growth habit with minimal differentiation between trunk and branches, particularly at maturity. Its leaves are typically dark green and glossy. Flowers are showy and tubular, displaying a color range from carmine-red to pinkish, often with a lighter blush near the throat; white, yellow, and striped cultivars also exist. The prominent caudex makes it suitable for bonsai. Mature specimens can reach 9 feet in height under optimal conditions. This sun-loving plant thrives in bright, direct sunlight and intense heat, demonstrating exceptional drought tolerance. Optimal temperatures range from 15°C to 32°C (60°F to 90°F); frost protection is required below 10°C (50°F). Once established, it requires minimal maintenance. In conclusion, the Adenium arabicum's substantial caudex, broad leaves, and attractive, often crinkled flowers make it a highly desirable succulent and bonsai subject.
