Add a striking succulent to your collection with this set of 2 Desert Rose Red (Adenium obesum) starter plants. This ornamental species is prized for its thick, sculptural trunk (caudex), glossy green foliage, and vibrant red blooms that develop as the plant matures. It is a popular choice for container gardens, patios, and sunny indoor spaces.
This listing includes 2 healthy starter plants with fully established root systems. Plants are grown in 2-inch nursery pots for cultivation but are not fully rooted into the pot, making them ideal for growers seeking young plants. Each plant ships bare root with its original soil pod carefully wrapped to help protect the roots during transit. Please do not remove or disturb the soil pod upon arrival.
