Rose Dew Desert Rose Bulbs

Adenium obesum — Rose Dew. The photograph caught this one just after a morning watering, and that freshness is the whole point of the variety: soft rose-pink doubles with a clean yellow-green heart, petals carrying a faint bloom that reads like dew even on a dry plant. It is the kind of pink that looks as good in a terracotta pot on a patio as it does in a glazed pot indoors, and it flowers in generous waves through the warm months.

What you get

• Dormant bare-root caudex with visible eyes and a full root system — not a seed, not a cutting.
• Flowers the first season once nights stay above 60°F / 15°C.
• One plant per bulb ordered — multi-packs are separate caudexes to pot up or share.

How to start it

• Pot: free-draining mix — 50% cactus soil, 30% pumice, 20% coarse sand. Terracotta, one size up from the root ball.
• Water: none for the first 7 days, then soak and let it dry completely before the next drink.
• Light: 6+ hours of direct sun keeps the pink saturated.
• Cold: USDA zones 10–12 outdoors; elsewhere keep it above 50°F / 10°C on a sunny sill.

The pink reads deeper in cool weeks and paler in a heatwave — both are the same plant. Ships dormant and bare-root, wrapped in dry sphagnum. 5–7 working days to dispatch, 8–25 working days in transit.
