Adenium, commonly known as desert rose or impala lily, is a succulent plant native to the arid regions of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Here are some details about Adenium plants and frequently asked questions:

Plant Details:

1. Appearance: Adeniums are characterized by their thick, fleshy stems, which taper towards the top. They produce vibrant, trumpet-shaped flowers ranging in color from white and pink to red and purple.
2. Growing Conditions:
   • Sunlight: Adeniums require full sunlight to thrive, at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
   • Soil: Well-draining soil mix is essential to prevent root rot. A mix of sand, perlite, and organic matter works well.
   • Watering: They are drought-tolerant plants and prefer to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
   • Temperature: Adeniums prefer warm temperatures above 50°F (10°C) and are not frost tolerant.
3. Propagation: Adeniums can be propagated from seeds or stem cuttings. Cuttings should be allowed to callous for a few days before planting in well-draining soil.
4. Maintenance: Regular pruning can help maintain a compact shape and encourage flowering. Fertilize sparingly during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer diluted to half strength.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Why are the leaves turning yellow?
   • Yellowing leaves can indicate overwatering or nutrient deficiencies. Ensure proper drainage and adjust watering accordingly. Yellow leaves may also be a sign of pests or diseases.
2. How often should I water my Adenium?
   • Watering frequency depends on environmental conditions and the plant’s size. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch, usually every 7-14 days.
3. Why isn’t my Adenium flowering?
   • Adeniums require plenty of sunlight to flower. Ensure they are receiving adequate sunlight and are not over-fertilized, as excessive nitrogen can inhibit flowering.
4. What should I do if my Adenium has root rot?
   • If root rot is detected, remove the affected parts of the plant and repot in fresh, well-draining soil. Adjust watering practices to prevent future occurrences.
5. Can Adeniums be grown indoors?
   • Adeniums can be grown indoors if provided with sufficient sunlight, preferably near a south-facing window. However, they may not flower as prolifically indoors compared to outdoor conditions.
6. How long do Adeniums live?
   • With proper care, Adeniums can live for several decades. They are slow-growing plants and can develop into attractive bonsai specimens over time.
