ADENIUM
OBESUM 'CHOMPHOO SAMRAN'
A classic caudiciform with a succulent habit. Easy
to grow potted plant that forms a fat swollen trunk
and produces several prominent bell shaped pink
flowers all year long. Perfect for water conserving
gardens as it is drought resistant. Can be a houseplant
if grown by a window, but prefers to be outdoors
in full to partial sun. Avoid freezing temperatures.
Leaves do drop in the winter time and sprout back
in the spring time. Original Desert roses (Adenium
obesum) have pink flowers. You now can see many
different hybrids and clones. A lot of them are
also grafted and have really cool colors.
