Desert Rose (Adenium obesum) is a striking, slow-growing succulent shrub admired for its thick, swollen trunk (called a caudex), sculptural form, and vividly colored flowers. Native to arid regions of Africa and the Middle East, this plant thrives in hot, dry climates and is well-suited to sunny indoor spots or outdoor container gardens in warm regions. The Desert Rose is especially prized for its trumpet-shaped blooms that come in shades of pink, red, white, or even bicolor, typically appearing during the warmer months.
Its distinctive caudex, which stores water, gives it a bonsai-like appearance, making it a popular choice for collectors and ornamental plant lovers. The plant’s fleshy, lance-shaped leaves are typically clustered at the tips of its branches, and it may go dormant and lose leaves during cooler months or drought, conserving energy and water.
