Adenium 'Ansu Baobab'Adenium obesum 'Baobab', Desert Rose

Grow in bright light with some shelter from the hottest sun. An average temperature of 10- 25C (50-77F) is ideal. Water at intervals, allowing the compost to dry out between waterings. Never allow the plant to sit in water as this will cause the stem to rot. This Adenium stores water in its stem so it needs surprisingly little water during the growing season. Reduce watering and allow plants to go dormant and remain completely dry through winter. During this period it will drop all its leaves. This is a normal process and fresh new leaves will regrow in spring.House plants should be fed regularly between March and September when they are in active growth.
