Experience the bold and vibrant beauty of the Sunfire Adenium flower! Its striking yellow petals with stunning red markings at the center create a unique and eye-catching contrast. This plant is sure to add an energetic burst of color to any space.
Watering
Adenium Plant does not like both over-watering and drying-out. They like a neutral to hard water. Acidic water tends to sour the soil too fast and may cause root rot. A small pot with excellent drainage is a must.
Water plants preferably in the early morning, and allow them to drink up throughout the day. Watering can be done daily to every few days. Never allow your plants to sit in a saucer of water, neither allow them to dry out too often - this causes adeniums to go into early dormancy. Add stones to the pot s bottom to ensure comparatively better drainage.
Light
Adenium Plant, also known as Bangkok kalachuchi, thrives in bright sunlight for optimal growth. When grown in cloudy areas, it can become weak and produce less colorful blooms. Some varieties are able to tolerate partial shade.
Potting Mix
A mix of course sand, coco-peat amended with perlite (3 parts mix to 1 part perlite) is adequate under most conditions to improve aeration and drainage
Fertilizer
To make your plant develop a large swollen base/ trunk, you need a good quality fertilizer. Fertilizer requirement for swelling up trunks is also used to increase flowering. It shouldn't be too high in nitrogen, the middle number should be the highest. Never apply fertilizer directly on roots and do not liquid feed when a plant is thirsty: always water first slightly to avoid root burn and leaf drop.
Landscape Uses
The Sunfire Adenium Plant is an exquisite bonsai tree that makes for a beautiful addition to any container garden.
