Position it in a location receiving full sun; indoors, choose a south-facing window for optimal light. Water moderately during spring and summer, then reduce watering significantly in winter to mimic its natural desert habitat. The plant's thick trunk stores moisture, so err on the dry side—overwatering is the most common mistake. Fertilize monthly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength, then stop feeding in winter. \u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e This plant contains irritating sap; keep it away from children and pets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Florida Plant Nursery","offers":[{"title":"6 Inch Red","offer_id":45814371549370,"sku":"10273","price":161.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/3520\/4026\/files\/desert-rose-adenium_230ededc-72ab-4ffa-b9cc-79af32652737.jpg?v=1777510167","url":"https:\/\/floridaplantnursery.com\/products\/desert-rose-adenium","provider":"Florida Plant Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
