- How often should I water my Adenium Obesum Desert Rose?
- Water the plant sparingly; allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, particularly during the winter months when the plant requires less moisture.
- Is the Adenium Obesum suitable for beginners?
- Yes, this plant is considered easy to care for due to its low water and maintenance requirements. It’s an excellent choice for beginners interested in expanding their collection with a unique and striking succulent.
- Can the Desert Rose be placed outdoors in the UK?
- During warmer months, the Desert Rose can thrive outdoors in full light. However, it should be brought indoors to avoid cold damage before temperatures drop below 10°C, as it is not frost-hardy.
