• Adenium arabicum is a remarkable succulent plant with a grotesquely swollen trunk which resembles a miniature baobab tree. This rare plant is a local or morphological form of Adenium obesum, but commonly used to be know as a separate species. It is very popular with 'fat plant' collectors.
  
  Adenium arabicum is similar in appearance to Adenium obesum, but creates a massive, more squat and fat caudex without much differentiation between trunk and branches and is the most succulent and "desert like" species.
  
  Small pink flowers.
  
  Plants may be shipped bare root.
• Bright filtered light is best but in areas where light is not as burning, plants may be kept outdoors in full sun unprotected but remember that caudex is very susceptible to sun scalding. Plant becomes leggy in the shade and its flowering reduced.
  
  Water when growing, keep on the dry side in winter.
  
  Average, Well-Drained.
• USDA hardiness zone 10a to 11b: from 30 °F (−1.1 °C) to 50 °F ( 10 °C).
