COLIBYOUDesert Rose， Adenium Obesum one Year Plant ， Baby Size Bonsai Caudex (1 Rose)

1 Month Update: Both plants are still healthy and growing. The plant that was grown in a warmer, dryer environment--my office--has grown faster. The second plant was placed in our cooler loving room. Both in full view of the sun. The larger plant was placed in east facing window and the smaller plant in southern facing window. Provide your growing desert rose with a bit more water during growth season.2 Week Update: Both plants are healthy and growing. I added more pictures of the green leaf sprouts coming in on the larger plant. Both have about 6-12 leaf starts popping up. I live in Colorado and keep a heater on in my office on cold days. So far, the desert rose that's in my heated office has grown faster than the one in my living room that doesn't benefit from the heater in an enclosed space.I purchased two desert roses in the event that one of them didn't survive the non-expedited postal trip.I'm very pleased that both arrived in excellent condition. No root rot or damage from shipping. They smelled fresh and alive with well hydrated bulbs. Two plastic nursery pots were included, but I already picked up two pots on sale. I did not use any root growth hormone or plant food. Just well draining cactus soil.A few tips:-Plant them as soon as you get them.-Use a desert or cactus mix.-You want a pot that's at least 7"-6" deep.-Only use a pot with drain holes.Don't over water. Treat it as you would a succulent or cactus. It's a desert plant after all.-This plant shouldn't be misted.-Keep in full sun.-This plant will thrive in warm, dry conditions. You can help it along with an indoor heater and/or dehumidifier if you live in a cool, wet region. The closer you can mimic their natural environment, the faster they will thrive.Otherwise, always research care instructions for any plant additions to your home.

Didn’t grow one leaf on it, it came with dried leaves , even now after 7-8 months, it hasn’t grown leaves since spring.Waste expensive purchase,

Take care of it as needed, be patient with it's growth, & you'll see the results! I ordered this about a year and a half ago and aa you can see, it's starting to bloom into a healthy plant! Up until about a month ago, it only had roughly 8 leaves on it and then, I set it outside! These guys LOVE the heat and summer sun! It has nearly doubled in size since putting it outside! Highly recommend purchasing if you're a plant lover!

I thought I was going to see small red or pink flowers. It came with no leaves on it. I finally noticed a large yellow flower on it. It is pretty but not what was expected.

The media could not be loaded. It’s been 3 years now, and 3 replanting later I’ve not been able to get a bloom. The plant has always been healthy. It has been fertilized on a regular schedule. So far, I’ve been unable to produce blooms. Starting to question cloning practices.

When I first received these plants, I was questioning whether they were even alive. They were wrapped in bubble wrap with a bare bulb. No leaves, nothing. It requires a bit of patience but I did some reading up on this plant and did the following.1) I let them sit out in a semi lit area for a couple of days after I unwrapped them from the bubble wrap.2) I'd read that they needed quick draining soil. For all of my house plants, most of which are hoyas, I use a base of FoxFarm Ocean Forest Organic Potting soil, however, depending on the plant I mix other things in that are specific to whatever plant. For planting these desert roses I mixed in the Fox Farm, and put in approximately 1/3 of the mix with perlite. Also, I added a small amount of black sand and a small amount of aquarium activated charcoal. I'd read that they need fast draining mix as they don't like sitting in water drenched soil.3) After potting them up, I didn't water them for a few days to let them acclimate. Also, gradually moved them towards the brighter light by the window. In their permanent place, they now sit in a window that gets bright sunlight basically from morning till late afternoon.4) After letting them sit in the dry mix for about 4 days, I watered them with Maxsea 722250 Plant Food. Please note, I use Maxsea on all of my houseplants (tropicals, hoyas, mostly, but some cactus type plants, as well) with wonderful results. However, I do NOT follow the directions on the container for mixing. On the container it directs people, that feed houseplants every watering, to use 1/2 teaspoon per gallon. I've learned over trial and error, with all fertilizers, this is too strong for my plants and cut it in half. I use every watering, 1/4 teaspoon per gallon. I also soak my plants in the fertilized water for about 20 minutes. All of my plants require quick draining soil, so they're only saturated for about 20 minutes, and then I let them drain.I must say, after a couple of weeks of waiting to see some signs of life, I was starting to wonder if I'd just planted some duds. I'm trying to remember but I don't think I even saw the start of sprigs coming out of the bulb until 3 or so weeks after the planting. It's now the last day of May and I'd received these on April 6, so my pictures probably reflect the growth I've seen in the last 4 weeks after I first saw the sprigs start to develop on the bulbs. My suggestion would be to be really patient with waiting for the first signs of life. I'm really looking forward to seeing flowers on these plants. I'm pleased with this purchase.

Ase un ańo lo compré y no crece mucho por q es muy frío donde vivo pero es divino

It came without a flower. If that is ok, buy it. It does not look at all like the picture.
