Adenium Obesum 'Good Night'
Desert Rose 'Good Night'
Adeniums are a group of succulent flowering shrubs and trees which are found in the dogbane family of plants, Apocynaceae. There are currently 6 accepted species, and all are native to parts of tropical Africa, South Africa, or across the Arabian Peninsula. Plants generally have either a ground caudex or a swollen trunk, with thick green succulent like leaves. Some species can grow quite tall. Flowers are usually large and of bright colours. Adenium obesum is a species Adenium. It is an evergreen, or drought-deciduous, succulent shrub with large green leathery leaves and a swollen basal caudex. It is often grown in Bonsai form in containers and the species produces flowers with five petals, which are generally either red or pink in colour with a white throat. In cultvation, breeding has resulted in the development of many hybrids, producing plants with different flower colours, patterns and markings. 'Good Night ' has near-black double flowers that have small touches of red on the inner petals and petal edges. If grown in tropical conditions with under 50% shade, the whole flower is the rare black colour.

Flowering Season
From Mid Spring TO Late Spring
Providing Adeniums are given the right growing conditions, they will generally flower in the spring.
Planting Or Putting It Outside
From Late Spring TO Late Summer
In warmer climates, Adeniums can be planted out in full sun - providing temperatures are in excess of 40F. Ensure you water regularly, especially if grown in a container or pot. Container grown plants often need watering daily in hot weather. It is advisable to ensure plants acclimatise to brighter sun gradually if they have been grown indoors for a while to ensure leaves are not immediately scorched. This can be done by increasing the number of hours in the sun gradually over a two week period.
