Adenium ‘Ansu Baobab’ 12cm Pot

This characterful plant is sure to attract attention. Rarely seen and much sought after by collectors, it has a distinctive swollen trunk that gives it the appearance of a miniature baobab tree. Its rounded, water-storing stem supports short, stubby branches topped with glossy green leaves.

The swollen stem stores water, making it an excellent choice for anyone who occasionally forgets to water their houseplants. During winter the plant naturally enters dormancy and may lose all of its leaves. This is perfectly normal and fresh new growth will appear in spring.

Grow in a bright position with plenty of direct light. Maintain temperatures above 10C, with 18–30C ideal during the growing season. Water sparingly, allowing the compost to dry out completely between waterings and never leave the pot standing in water, as this can cause the stem and roots to rot. Reduce watering in autumn and keep the plant almost completely dry throughout its winter dormancy.
