What is the difference between Clerodendrum schmitii and Clerodendrum wallichii?

• 
  ⭐️ The main difference between Clerodendrum schmitii and Clerodendrum wallichii lies in the color of their flower stalk and a slight variation in their growth habits, though both share similar overall characteristics.
• 
  ⭐️ Clerodendrum schmitii - also known as Chains of Glory or Light Bulb Flower, is a rare species that features elegant white, fragrant flowers held in loose, pendulous panicles. These blooms are showy against the plant's dark green foliage and typically hang down a foot and a half or more. This winter bloomer often has two flowering periods during the season and is distinguished by its striking red stems, adding a touch of drama to its graceful form.
• 
  ⭐️ Clerodendrum wallichiii, also known as Bridal Veil, has a similar cascading growth habit with fragrant white flowers in loose panicles, which appear around Thanksgiving. The flowers are beautiful, but the key difference is in its green stems. This plant grows up to 7 feet tall and has narrow, pointed leaves. It blooms from fall to spring, preferring to be protected from wind and hot afternoon sun.
• 
  ⭐️ While both plants feature fountain-like shapes and are covered in flowers during the winter to spring season, the red flower stalks of Clerodendrum schmitii and the green ones of Clerodendrum wallichii set them apart.

🌸 Why Adeniums are the most popular container plants

• 🌸 Desert roses - Adeniums - are among the most popular container plants. Why? Because they are:

· Easy to grow and can thrive in both sun and shade, indoors, and in low humidity.

• · Drought-tolerant, requiring minimal water and able to go long periods without it.
• · Not fussy about soil pH.
• · Stunning bloomers with showy flowers.
• · Unique and eye-catching, with a curious caudex that forms unusual shapes.

• 🌸 How many varieties and colors of desert roses out there?

· At Top Tropicals, we offer over 200 varieties of Adeniums, with more than 100 available in stock at any time.

• · With so many colors of hybrids available in cultivation, you want to collect them all!
• · Double flowers, red, purple, yellow, striped, dotted, rainbow, and even black flowers!

🌸 The secret to creating a large, swollen caudex:
Raise the plant slightly every time you repot it, exposing the upper part of the roots. This encourages the plant to form more roots that grow downward.
Unlike most tropical and houseplants, Adeniums prefer neutral to hard water. They have very low water needs and can grow in full sun or shade.
