Adenium Arabicum Godji

Adenium Arabicum Godji (Adenium arabicum ‘Godji’) is a desert rose cultivar grown for its fat, sculptural caudex and compact crown, with pink to red flowers in strong sun. Labijo ships it to US buyers as a rooted plant.

What does Adenium Arabicum Godji look like?

Adenium arabicum is the desert rose species known for a wide, low, swollen trunk (the caudex) and short, thick branches. Godji is a named selection with a compact crown, so the plant looks like a small bonsai. The leaves are thick and leathery and sit at the branch tips.

In full sun it flowers in pink to red trumpets. Expect leaf drop in cool or dark winters; that is normal rest. More caudex and dry-climate plants are in our other succulents.

How do you care for Adenium Arabicum Godji?

• Light: Full sun or your brightest window. A grow light helps indoors in winter.
• Water: Sparingly. Let the soil dry out completely, and keep it nearly dry while it is leafless.
• Humidity: Average to dry air.
• Soil: A very gritty cactus mix with lots of pumice or perlite.
• Temperature: 70–95°F in the growing season. Keep it above 50°F; cold, wet soil rots the caudex.
• Pets: Not pet safe. All parts and the sap are highly toxic.

Lifting the caudex a little higher at each repotting shows off more of the trunk. Wear gloves, since the sap is toxic.
