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.

    Care of Desert Roses

    Q: I am looking forward to my three desert roses I just ordered from you and I am wondering how to take care of them, especially during winter time. Should I put the pots in full sun or shade? What kind of soil do they like? How often should I water them? When it gets cooler, should I bring them inside? We do have occasional frost here during winter.

    A: Here are a few tips for your desert roses:

    1. When received Adenium from mail-order, unpack carefully; branches are fragile. Plant in well-drained potting mix. Cactus mix will do, but we recommend special Adenium mix. If using regular acidic peat-based potting mix, you may add sea-shells on top of soil to neutralize acidity: adeniums prefer alkaline soils. Using clay pots is beneficial. Water once and do not water again until soil gets dry. Place in bright shade until new leaves sprout, then the plant can be moved to full sun.

    2. Adenium is a succulent, but not a cactus. It needs watering, however let soil dry before waterings. Reduce watering during cool season and discontinue when plant gets dormant (drops all leaves in winter).

    3. Bright light is the best for profuse flowering. However, adeniums look much healthier in slightly filtered light rather than in all-day full sun.

    4. Fertilize and spray leaves with liquid fertilizer SUNSHINE Megaflor - Nutrition Bloom Booster. Phosphorous is responsible both for flowering and caudex development. Avoid caudex, spray over foliage only. Dry fertilizer can be used only during hot months.

    5. Watch for spider mites during hot and dry season.

    6. Give plants a break during winter dormant season. Keep in bright shade and reduce watering to 1-2 per month or stop watering if temperature is below 65F.
