- / per
Adenium multiflorum is small, succulent tree, typically 0.5-3 m tall. The flowers, which appear in winter, are typically 5-petaled and are generally deep red and white, though can be shades of pink, white, or bi-color. The two-capsuled fruits contain long, grooved, hairy brown seeds.
Sometimes called the impala lily, A. multiflorum requires full sun and excellent drainage. It is extremely drought tolerant. Though frequently used as a bonsai plant indoors, it may be grown outside in USDA hardiness zones 10 and 11.
Adenium multiflorum is a popular houseplant and bonsai in temperate regions. It requires a sunny location and a minimum indoor temperature in winter of 10 C (50 F). It thrives on a xeric watering regime as required by cacti. Adenium multiflorum is commonly propagated by seed. It is a poisonous species of flowering plant.
This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
Type: Perennial, grows like a natural bonsai if grown in a pot
Hardiness zone: 10-12
Location: Sun
Height: 50-300cm, 20-120"
Seeds per packet: 10 (previously 5)
Obtain a container with holes in the bottom, to allow water to drain. Use a mix of 50:50 compost/soil and sand. Place the seeds just under the surface and water them in. These seeds grow in temperatures of 25-29C (77-84F). A heat mat can be helpful. It is very important to keep the soil moist until germination, and do not let the soil dry until the plants are formed. The seeds generally germinate in 10-30 days. After germination the heat mat is no longer required.
Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
