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.

Some adeniums go bright. Some go deep.
And some land right in that rich, warm middle.
This set leans into those “dessert” colors - creamy, golden, purple, and everything in between.
And yes, some varieties even come with fruity or “tasty” names
!

💡 Soil and watering tip



Adeniums are succulents, so they need excellent drainage and prefer to stay on the dry side.
Water deeply, then let the soil dry out before watering again.
No constant moisture.
The potting mix is just as important. It should be very рыхлый and fast-draining, with plenty of conditioners like perlite, bark, or vermiculite.
We recommend using a Adenium Soilless Mix for best results.

🌸 Today's featured adeniums



 ✦ Caramel: Warm, rich tones with a smooth, creamy look.
 ✦ Bumblebee: Bold contrast with bright yellow and dark patterning - very eye-catching.
 ✦ Purple Plum: Deep purple shades with a deep, velvety feel.
 ✦ Pineapple: Fresh yellow tones that feel light and tropical.
 ✦ Vanilla Gold: Soft golden color with a clean, balanced form.
 ✦ Multi Berry: Blend of pinks and reds that gives it a layered, mixed-fruit look.

This kind of mix makes a collection feel warm and inviting - not just colorful, but full of depth.
And once you dial in soil and watering - everything else gets a lot easier.

Some adeniums bring color.
Some bring character.
And some… bring both.
This mix has a bit of everything - strong reds, deep tones, and soft floral shapes that balance it all out.


💡 Trimming tip



It’s always hard to cut back a branch… especially when it’s blooming.
But with adeniums, trimming is key.
After flowering, cut back leggy growth. This encourages branching, and more branches mean more flower buds.
It may feel like you’re losing blooms now - but you’re setting up a much bigger show next.
Trim, let it branch, and you’ll be rewarded with multiple blooms instead of just one.

Some adeniums pull you in with color. Others with shape.
And a few… just look different from anything else on the bench.
This set leans into contrast - deep tones, bright golds, and a few forms that don’t quite follow the rules.


💡 Light tip for hot climates



In places like Florida, South California, or Texas, full sun can actually be too intense for adeniums.
They grow just fine in bright, filtered light - even indoors - which makes them surprisingly good houseplants.

In extreme heat:
🔸 Keep them in filtered light to protect leaves and extend bloom life. Flowers last longer and won’t burn.
🔸 Bright light is important, but avoid harsh midday sun.
🔸 Deep shade is too much and will reduce flowering.
🔸 Dry air is not a problem - adeniums actually prefer it.

🌸 Today's featured adeniums



 ✦ Black Rahu: Dark, intense tones with a bold presence - one of the more striking “black” types.
 ✦ Black Swan: Elegant shape with deep coloring - feels refined and a bit dramatic without trying.
 ✦ Carnation: Layered, ruffled petals that give it a fuller, almost classic flower look.
 ✦ Camellia: Full, layered petals in a soft rosette form - looks more like a classic garden flower than a typical adenium.
 ✦ Golden Millionaire: Rich golden tones with a strong, bright look - warm and eye-catching.
 ✦ Golden Star: Clean yellow blooms with a crisp form - simple, bright, and very balanced.

A mix like this gives you contrast right away - dark next to gold, simple next to unusual.
That’s what makes a collection interesting: not just how many you have, but how different they feel side by side.
