Adenium arabicum - trandafirul desertului cu caudex impresionant si flori exotice

Adenium arabicum is a spectacular species of desert rose, highly valued in succulent and bonsai collections for its thick, sculptural caudex that stores water and gives it a unique appearance, resembling miniature trunks. The foliage is dark green, glossy, and at maturity, the plant produces pink, red, or white flowers, etc., depending on the variety. Compared to Adenium obesum, this species develops a wider and more massive caudex, making it very sought after by enthusiasts.

📌 Note: Each specimen is unique in the shape of its caudex and branches, so there may be differences compared to the presentation images. Adenium is a succulent plant that reacts to environmental changes, transport, lower temperatures, or rest periods by yellowing and partially losing leaves. Plants may be delivered with sparser foliage, imperfect leaves, or partially fallen leaves. These aspects are normal for the species and do not represent quality defects, as long as the plant base/caudex is viable.
