No blooms yet though. Got it from a place in Arizona. Nice fat caudiform. It is one of my larger ones.

Hmm, the leaves and caudex look a lot different than my Adenium arabicum. What a lot of variation in 1 species.

This is the vendor I got it from too.

Im currently growing several Arabicums as well.
I like the fact that they self heal root rot.
PA is rot city for many plants.

I don't think the blooms are all that great. This paricular adenium I mainly enjoy for the big fat, extremely large caudex. Mines actually blooming today. This is my second bloom of the summer, wow, lol. It doesn't bloom often and I actually have three clusters. I'm very surprised. Another note, the bloom is just under 1 1/2 inches.

You can graft others into it if you no like da blooms

I also have a very large arabicum for a few years and it has never bloomed.
It is right next to my other adeniums in the sun. It is a very nice caudex though. The spider mites really like this one. This was really helpful as I had lost the tag and couldn't remember what this was. Thanks again.

Never bloomed?
Its time to graft a branch that flowers into it!
The caudexs are gorgeous!
