Adeniums are one of the easiest to grow and most rewarding of the fat plants (caudiciforms). Their adaptability to a broad range of conditions makes them forgiving of less than ideal care. This attribute enables just about anyone to grow and bloom them despite individual climate.
Adeniums need bright sunlight to have a robust growth. Water adeniums in the early mornings and give them the entire day to soak it in. Watering can be once in a few days. Adeniums do not like both over-watering and complete drying out. Add Pebbles or Stones in the pot’s bottom to ensure good drainage. Never let water stagnate on top of the soil layer as this can cause excessive water getting soaked in the stem. Use fertiliser once a month for getting a fatter trunk and increase in flowering.
Pruning time for adeniums is in the summer, where they can heal quickly from the wounds. Pruning is mainly to give adenium a proper shape or to turn it into a Bonsai.
