Some adeniums stand out for their flowers, and some for their leaves
Variegated types bring both - unique foliage and colorful blooms, so even when they’re not flowering, they still look interesting.
These are the ones that always get a second look.


💡 Soil tip - a little alkaline helps



Unlike most tropical plants that prefer acidic soil, adeniums actually do better on the slightly alkaline side.
Too much peat-based mix can make the soil too acidic and increase the risk of rot.
A simple trick we use:
Add a few shells on top of the soil. With each watering, they slowly raise the pH a bit.
No need to overdo it - just a small adjustment makes a difference.
