🌸 Exotic Adeniums Hot Deal

Six  desert  rose  adenium  hybrids  with  black,  pink,  yellow,  orange,  and  bicolor  flowers  in 
 bloom.

Colorful adenium hybrids in bloom at Top Tropicals

Desert roses (Adeniums) are not really roses at all. They are cousins of the plumeria, but gardeners prize them for that swollen base more than for the leaves. Want a little trick? Each time you repot, lift the plant slightly so the crown roots peek above the soil. Over time the base swells into odd shapes. Some look like bottles, others like bonsai elephants. That is half the fun of growing them.

At Top Tropicals we only sell grafted plants. Why? Because seed-grown plants do not keep flower color true, but they are the only ones that form the swollen caudex. With grafting you get the best of both worlds: reliable flower colors from named hybrids and the sculptural trunk from seedling rootstock. You can make hundreds of exotic colors. Tempting, isn’t it? Take advantage of this hot sale offer and and collect them all!

Some adeniums are nice, and some - make you stop and stare.

💡 Adenium fertilizing tip



Adeniums respond really well to liquid feeding - especially during active growth.

Bloom booster. Use a fertilizer with a higher middle number (phosphorus). It supports both flowering and caudex development. We use professional Sunshine Megaflor Bloom Booser.

How to apply
Water into the soil
Light foliar spray on leaves
Avoid spraying directly on the caudex

Add Sunshine Superfood:
Iron - for rich, healthy leaves
Molybdenum & Boron - support longer-lasting blooms

    Adenium Candy

    🍬 Don't eat this candy… it's too pretty to unwrap!

    • 🍬 Adenium Candy is pure sugar for the eyes! Its cheerful yellow petals are dipped in cherry red like a summer lollipop, with layer upon layer of sweet swirls that look almost good enough to taste.
    • 🍬 But don't be fooled - this sugary beauty is all flower, no calories! Like most members of Apocinaceae plant family, Adenium sap can be irritating and poisonous iа digested.
    • 🍬 With its bold colors and ruffled texture, Candy is a joyful little show-off and a must-have for your garden candy shop. See photos of actual Candy Adenium in next post 👇
