Adenium Obesum | Desert Rose
Adenium obesum, more commonly known as a desert rose, is a poisonous species of succulent. It is native to the Sahel regions south of the Sahara (from Mauritania and Senegal to Sudan), tropical and subtropical eastern and southern Africa, as well as the Arabian Peninsula
The flowers are beautiful like those of most of the adeniums and range from light-pink to dark magenta pink colour.
A obesum almost always drop every leaf during the dormancy period. When leaf tips get brown, it usually means that the plant is getting too dry between waterings but if they are doing it and the plant is wet, cut back a little.
