Adenium somalense
Adenium somalense.
Potting of adenium.
These plants can be grown as houseplants and will grow best if moved outside during the summer. They need a temperature of at least 45б╨ F. They should be grown in well-drained potting soil in a bright location. A slightly humid atmosphere is preferred. During the summer, plenty of water and fertilizer should be provided; while they are dormant in the winter, they should be kept fairly dry. Overwatering can quickly cause the roots to rot.
Propagation of adenium.
Seeds are ordinarily used to increase these plants, though cuttings may be taken.
