About Adenium rosa big
Adenium rosa big is a succulent of the Apocynaceae family, native to East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. The most striking thing about this plant is a thickened caudex at the base that stores water, a feature that defines its personality and sets it apart within its genus.
At Succulentae we grow every Adenium rosa big directly in our nursery in southeastern Spain, in conditions of intense sun, low humidity and mineral substrate that replicate its natural habitat. That’s why you receive a robust plant, with marked natural color and hardened against sun and drought.
