Description
Adenium is a genus of succulents that are a part of the Apocynaceae family, otherwise known as Dogbane because some members provided poisons used to kill dogs. Plants can reach 15′ in their native habitat but seldom grow that tall in a garden. The members of this genus are unusual in that they have a caudex (soft swollen stem) as a trunk. The caudex acts as a water storage organ and helps the succulents to survive long periods of drought. Some of these caudices can be 20 to 30 inches wide. As these caudices can develop fantastic shapes, the plants are popular as specimen and bonsai plants.
