If you want to succeed in adenium growing, you should know a few facts about its origin.

Adenium is often called desert rose because it came from Arabian Peninsula and sub-Saharan Africa. Adenium history starts from 1752, when it was first found in Kenya. But now it is widely spread all over the world. Even though its native habitat is a desert, it grows in our conditions.

I was surprised to know, how easy it is to care about it! Today there are many adenium species due to successful cultivation of this plant in different countries.

Adenium sap contains poison, which was used by African hunters. This news was stunning! How a poisoning plant can grow in a garden or even at home?! But this poison is not dangerous until it gets directly into a blood stream. And it is very unlikely to happen. And rubber gloves will protect from irritation.

A blooming adenium tree is fascinating! That’s why it is becoming so popular now!
