Adenium obesum belongs to the Apocynaceae family and is native to Africa.
It is a caudiciform succulent, also commonly known as "Desert Rose", with a bushy habit. It is a particularly attractive plant due to the presence of the caudex, which helps the Adenium store water reserves.
Lance-shaped, bright green leaves grow at the top of the trunk. The "variegata" variety has white and cream variegations. In spring and summer, it produces large, colorful, and showy flowers.
It prefers excellent light exposure, which is also necessary for flowering, and a well-draining and light substrate.
It does not tolerate temperatures below 10°C. During the winter period, it may go dormant and partially or totally lose its foliage.
