Desert Rose (Adenium Obesum) 5 Seeds
General Information: The Desert Rose is a native of East Africa. It will grow from 2 to 3 metres in the wild. It has fleshy leaves and beautiful 5cm open-trumpet shaped flowers. It is a succulent, and forms more of a bush than a tree. It makes a good an indoor bonsai, but in the warmest climates.
Lighting: Needs lots of light and fresh air. Keep in a bright location in winter. In summer, if possible, move outdoors to a sunny or partly shaded location.
Temperature: Growing temperature should not be below 12 degrees C. However, in the winter, keeping it cool between 12-16 degrees C, gives the plant a needed rest.
Watering: Needs little water during winter, especially when kept cool. Increase water during growing and blooming periods. The total watering needed is similar to crassula, portulacaria and other succulents, and it will lose leaves if overwatered.
Feeding: Monthly, during spring and summer with liquid bonsai fertilizer. Fish emulsion is also reported to work well.
Pruning and wiring: Style primarily by clip and grow. Do heavy pruning after the plant's rest period. However, it bleeds profusely, so heavy pruning should be kept to a minimum. New shoots can be pruned regularly.
This packet contains 5 mixed colour seeds (red, white and pink).
