Caring for Adenium
- Daily watering is essential only during hot summer days. As the flower grows in warm climates, where the temperature always remains above 50F even at night, remember to water it regularly even throughout winter months. This will allow the soil to dry out between watering. Temperature is another thing you should pay attention to.

The desert rose can survive 40 degrees with little damage, but when the temperature is below 30, the plant dies. In winter the plant can freeze, even if it is placed in a greenhouse.
