Each time you repot, raise the plant slightly to expose more of the upper roots. This encourages new root growth downward and helps form a thicker, more dramatic caudex.
· Use a well-draining mix
· Water only when dry - Adeniums love dry conditions
· Feed with Sunshine Megaflor Booster that supports both caudex and blooms
· Grow best in filtered bright light
