add a pot to fit this plant
Adenium arabicum ‘Baobab’, also known as the Desert Rose, is a striking succulent with a thick, sculptural trunk resembling a miniature Baobab tree. Native to arid regions of East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, it’s prized for its dramatic form and resilience.
This unusual succulent thrives in bright, indirect light and enjoys warmth. Its fleshy caudex stores water, allowing it to tolerate dry conditions and periods of neglect — perfect for collectors and design enthusiasts alike.
Care:
Place in a bright, warm spot. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water sparingly during autumn and winter when the plant goes dormant. Feed every two months during the growing season.
