Adenium Baobab
Adenium or Desert Rose as it is commonly know is one of the most popular plants in the world, this plant is even considered by many as sacred by many as each Adenium is so unique and can live for hundreds of years. Native to East Africa it is a small tropical shrub from the Apocynaceae family.
As plants go, this is a voluptuous and curvy number. It may remind you of a 'Rubenesque-figure' as shapes go. If you are lucky and patient enough, it may even surprise you with some flowers.

Customers praised this exotic miniature tree as "amazing" and "beautiful," with many noting it resembles African baobabs. Plants typically arrive healthy and well-packaged, though one customer experienced yellow leaves initially. Shoppers appreciate the quick delivery and unique appearance, with new leaves sprouting after arrival. One customer requested care instructions.
- Looks like a mini version of the massive trees in the wilds of Africa. I love it to bits!
- Plant was delivered quickly, in very good condition and very well packaged.
- So unique - I've had lots of compliments.
Well packed, arrived safely. A bit disappointed as most of the leaves are yellow and are falling off, but I am hopeful it will bounce back, I have given her a soak as she was very dry and time will tell.
Hi Janis, thank you for your feedback. It's common for Adenium plants to shed leaves periodically. With proper care, bright indirect light and slight moisture, the plant will push a new flush of leaves. Please reach out if we can help further
I've been looking for this plant for so long and was fortunate to purchase one from GrowTropicals. Plant was delivered quickly, in very good condition and very well papackaged. I definitely would recommend to others.
This plant is AMAZING. Looks like a mini version of the massive trees in the wilds of Africa. I love it to bits! Great size and can’t wait to see it grow! So well packaged and shipped so quickly as well. Even if you only ever own one plants make it this one!
Such a lovely specimen with loads of new leaves growing! Love this little one. Plus it was packaged so securely and arrived in just a few days, and in perfect condition!
Arrived in great condition. I've never tried to grow one of these before so did a lot of reading and videos. I put it in a sunny window and moved it away at might time. A couple of days later a heat mat arrived and it's on a plastic tray on top of the heat matset at its lowest temp. after a few more days I gave it a small amount of water and kept an eye on it. it then started showing green on the end of its branches but still didn't want to rush things. The soil it arrived in looks like peat and not free draining so I sieved some bonsai soil and left the soil soaking in water for 24hrs. With temps increasing I decided to get it out of its old soil,it was so dry it all fell away and I put half of the new soil which I'd drained into a slightly larger bonsai pot and filled the pot up withe rest. That wad 2 or 3 days ago and the green is spreading along the branches so I'm hopeful it's OK. I'll watch what happens and eventually put it outside when it's hot and sunny enough and give it a mild feed every so often. Up to now I'm very pleased,thank you.
The plant arrived super quick and really well packaged, and it's already started sprouting leaves!
Love this plant its so unusual, arrived on time and very well packaged :grin:
It arrives beautifully and well packed. Waiting now for it to establish.
I love this chubby little plant - I’m going to have to give it a name - it’s in perfect condition too
So happy with my quirky baobab. Arrived in great condition (packaged with a lot of care) and so many new shoots already popping up...can't wait to see how it grows/matures.

Recieved a beautifully healthy plant that, now I have had it a week, has settled in and is already showing this by producing cute, little green leaves.
Very happy with my plant, the delivery, the packaging and swiftness of delivery.
Arrived very carefully wrapped as a dormant plant. Now just starting to grow some very tiny leaves.
