Adenium 'Thai Socotranum' Family: Apocynaceae. A very unusual Adenium cultivar from Thailand. This variety is known for having a short stocky caudex and many short branches. It produces large roots that can be raised when the plant is larger. Flowers are pink. Can become quite large in time. Easy to grow, but requires warm temperatures in the winter (minimum of 50 degrees). When in leaf water regularly but don't let the soil stay wet. Keep fairly dry in the winter or whenever it drops its leaves. Likes full sun in humid regions (i.e Eastern US) but protect from hot afternoon summer sun in arid areas.
Despite the name this is a form of Adenium arabicum NOT Adenium socotranum. The "story" of this cultivar is that it is a cross between those two species but nothing about this plant resembles the true Adenium socotranum.
You will receive the plant shown in the first two images. Plants shown in a 6.5"diameter pot. Your plant may or may not have flowers or leaves when you receive it. Last image shows a mature plant shown growing in a ~3 foot diameter pot (really!).
Important Shipping Information
- PLANTS ARE SHIPPED BARE ROOT If you want me to send them in pots send me a message to discuss. Extra charges due to increased shipping costs will apply.
- Immediate Payment (eBay only) Sorry! I can no longer offer a delayed purchase option as the multichannel inventory management system I have started using requires this setting.
- No Delayed Shipping (eBay only) Once you pay I have to (and WILL) ship within 3 business days or eBay will lower my seller rating. I used to have a way to delay shipping but can no longer do this for the same reason as #2 above. Feel free to message me before buying to see if we can figure something out here, no promises though.
- Winter Shipping If you live in a cold climate consider including a 96 hour heat pack in your order during the cold months. I have them as a listing. Just add it to your order. If you don’t see them just message me.
