Here's a complete care guide for your Adenium (Desert Rose) plant:

 Adenium Plant Care Guide

 Light

Needs: Full sunlight for at least 6 hours a day.

Best Placement: Outdoors in a sunny spot, or indoors near a south-facing window.

Tip: Without enough sunlight, flowering will reduce.

 Watering

Spring & Summer (growing season): Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feels dry.

Fall & Winter (dormant season): Water sparingly—once every 2–3 weeks.

Important: Avoid overwatering; root rot is the biggest risk.

 Temperature & Humidity

Ideal Temperature: 20–35°C (68–95°F)

Minimum Temperature: Do not expose to below 10°C (50°F)

Humidity: Prefers dry to moderate humidity.

 Soil

Use well-draining cactus or succulent soil mix.

You can make your own:
1 part sand + 1 part perlite + 1 part potting soil

 Fertilizer

Growing Season (Spring–Summer): Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks.

Dormant Season (Fall–Winter): No fertilizer needed.

 Pruning

When: In early spring, before new growth begins.

Why: Encourages bushier growth and more flowers.

How: Trim leggy branches and remove dead or damaged parts.

 Repotting

Every 2–3 years or when roots outgrow the pot.

Choose a slightly larger pot with drainage holes.

Let the plant rest for a few days after repotting before watering.
