Adeniums, also known as the Desert Rose, is a unique looking succulent native to the semi-arid regions of Arabia and the eastern and western parts of Africa.

This plant is a type of caudiciform or “fat plant” because of its thick bulbous base. 

 When grown indoors, a desert rose can be 2ft-5ft tall and 1ft-3 ft wide. Desert rose plants have beautiful flowers and sparse small leaves.

The 1″-2″ saucer shaped blooms are quite a conversation piece and can be red, pink, or white. The fat, bulbous trunk is partially or completely buried in the soil. This is one of my favorite indoor flowering plants because it is so unusual and thrives on neglect.

These plants are considered poisonous and should be kept away from pets and children
