   • Needs full sun to thrive. Ideally, place it in a location where it can receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day.
2. Soil:

   • Water thoroughly when the soil is dry, but let the soil dry out completely between waterings.

4. Temperature:
   • Adeniums prefer warm temperatures and are sensitive to frost.
   • They thrive in temperatures between 70°F (21°C) and 100°F (38°C). Bring indoors or protect from frost if you’re in a cooler climate.
5. Fertilizing:
   • Feed during the growing season (spring to summer) with a balanced fertilizer or a specialized cactus/succulent fertilizer.
   • You can use a liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks.
6. Adenium BungWang Pruning and Shaping:
   • Adeniums can be pruned to shape, and cutting back the plant can encourage bushier growth.

   • Adeniums can be propagated from stem cuttings. Allow the cutting to callous over for a few days before planting in a well-draining mix.
8. Pests:
   • Adeniums can be affected by mealybugs, aphids, and spider mites. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

• Adeniums are well-suited to containers, and growing them in pots can allow for more control over their environment.
• If you’re growing your Adenium ‘Bungwang’ in a pot, be sure to provide it with a pot that is not too large. The plant prefers to be a bit root-bound.
