Spring is here and it's a great time for planting!
It's also a busy time and sometimes we ship faster than we can update our website.
So if we are out of a product, we will contact you and ask for a substitution.
This doesn't happen very often.
It helps though if you add your phone number to the notes section of your order.

Adenium swazicum

Adenium swazicums are similar to adenium obesums in behavior. They too are caudiciforms with a bulbous caudex, (thick stem) where they store water. Although adeniums are succulents they are also sometimes like tropicals, in that they like lots of water in hot weather when they are flowering and have lots of leaves. Be careful not to give so much water as to rot the roots but water generously and allow to dry out. Fertilize during growing season. If they become leggy, cut the stem at a pleasing height forcing it to branch out. Frost sensitive.
