Why grow Desert Rose Houseplant
Adenium is one of very few plants that genuinely thrives indoors, provided it gets direct sun. It does not need humidity, does not mind dry air from heating, and its watering needs are so modest that forgetting it is safer than over-caring. That combination makes it ideal for a busy household.
How to plant and care for it
Put it in the brightest spot you have — ideally four or more hours of direct sun. Water when the compost is dry all the way through, which indoors may mean every two to three weeks. Let it rest dry in winter. Wipe the leaves occasionally to keep them glossy and check for mealybug in the leaf joints. Repot only when roots fill the pot.
