The Large Desert Rose, scientifically known as Adenium obesum, is a succulent plant that's appreciated for its striking appearance, including beautiful, trumpet-shaped flowers and a swollen, caudex base. Here are some care tips for a Large Desert Rose:
Light: Place your Desert Rose in full sunlight, as it thrives in bright, direct sunlight conditions.
Water: Allow the soil to dry out between waterings, as overwatering can lead to root rot. Water sparingly, and reduce watering during the winter when it's less active.
Temperature: Keep your Desert Rose in a warm and dry environment, as it is sensitive to cold temperatures and frost.
Soil: Use well-draining soil mix, such as cactus or succulent mix, to prevent water from pooling around the roots.
Fertilization: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) every 4-6 weeks.
