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. | |
