Adenium arabicum (Caudex)

It is a plant, which is highly sought after by green collectors for its swollen and very massive caudex, of the most extravagant shapes, which make each specimen unique in its genus. From this splendid swelling, which varies in color from greyish green to dark brown, short and very tortuous branches grow, at the apex of which large obovate and glabrous leaves emerge, that are of a glossy dark green color on the upper surface and a lighter opaque green one on the other side. Even before its leaves appear, beautiful red or pink tubular flowers often bloom on the bare branches, which create a truly scenographic effect together with the apparently dry branches. This plant is much loved for its perfect appearance of a wonderful bonsai, but also for its extreme resistance to drought. Adenium arabicum is a specimen that cannot be missing in your collections!
