How to Care for Adenium Desert Rose
Check the Plant
First, please check your Adenium plant after you open the package. If the plant has any rot or the base is black or watery, please contact us immediately. Adeniums naturally are somewhat soft, so no need to contact us if there is a bit of softness. Because of the shipping from Asia, in some cases these plants can take up to about 4 weeks for leaves to sprout. Be patient with the plant as it tries to acclimate to the new pot.
Water Properly
Second, we highly recommend using a well draining cactus soil mix that consists of sandy soil with perlite or small stones. Because Adeniums are drought tolerant, watering only once a week in the hot/warm months is advised. When watering, make sure to water it thoroughly. Check the dryness of the soil by inserting a finger into the soil. If the soil is moist or wet, wait to water the plant until the soil has dried out. Too much water will cause the root to rot and can kill the plant. In the winter and rainy seasons, it is wise to water only when necessary, which is typically once every 2-3 weeks.
Expose to the Sun
Third, ideally, this plant should be grown in full sunlight, so a sunny window or a sunny corner in the garden is a good place for the plant. It is important your plant receives direct sunlight for a minimum of 5 hours every day. More sunlight will help it grow better. Alternatively, you can also grow it indoors using grow lights. In colder regions, it makes more sense to use grow lights instead of exposing it to the harsh weather outside. These plants enjoy the heat, and thrive in temperatures above 80 degrees F.
