Adenia glauca
Family: Passifloraceae
This plant is a large green stem caudex with taproot that can reach upwards of 2 feet in diameter. It produces long stiff vining stems during active growth, with deciduous palmately lobed leaves. Dioecious with separate male and female plants
Habitat:
Grows on rocky cliffs in north eastern South Africa (Transvaal), often found growing out of cracks between large boulders.
Cultivation:
Should be watered once every 1 to 2 weeks during the summer, keep dry in winter. Vines can be cut back in the fall to prepare for dormancy. The caudex can grow quite rapidly if over potted and kept in extremely well draining medium (mostly pumice), up to several inches a season.
Adenia globosa
Family: Passifloraceae
This plant is a large green stem caudex with taproot that can reach upwards of 2 feet in diameter. Large shrub of spiny long pendant vining stems during active growth, with small deciduous leaves. Dioecious with separate male and female plants.
Habitat:
Grows in dry woodlands over a large distribution in eastern Africa
Cultivation:
Should be watered once every 1 to 2 weeks during the summer, keep dry in winter. Vines can be cut back in the fall to prepare for dormancy. The caudex can grow quite rapidly if over potted and kept in extremely well draining medium (mostly pumice), up to several inches a season.
Adenia spinosa
Family: Passifloraceae
Caudex to 8ft, with stiff vining stems bearing long relatively dull spines which are derived from petioles of the old leaves. Dioecious with separate male and female plants
Habitat:
Found from Limpopo Province in East South Africa to Botswana and Zimbabwe growing in scrublands and spars grasslands, often under the canopy of larger trees or shrubs.
Cultivation:
Should be watered once every 1 to 2 weeks during the summer, keep dry in winter. Vines can be cut back in the fall to prepare for dormancy. The caudex can grow quite rapidly if over potted and kept in extremely well draining medium (mostly pumice). Caudex prefers to be shaded, while the Vinings stems like full sun.
Adenia venenata
Family: Passifloraceae
Green Tree-like caudiciform up to 2 feet in diameter and 10 feet tall. Produces long vining green stems with deciduous Palmate leaves. Dioecious with separate male and female plants
Habitat:
This plant is widespread in sub-Saharan Africa ranging all the way from Northern Nigeria to Yemen. It is found growing in a wide variety of soils and biom types, often near trees which it grows up using its long Vining branches.
Cultivation:
Should be watered once every 1 to 2 weeks during the summer, keep dry in winter. Vines can be cut back in the fall to prepare for dormancy. The caudex can grow quite rapidly if over potted and kept in extremely well draining medium (mostly pumice).
Adenia volkensii
Family: Passifloraceae
This plant grows to be a small shrub in habitat with modeled red and green stems and deciduous palmate leaves. The plant has large tuberous roots that form a gnarly caudex, which can be raised above the ground for display. Dioecious with separate male and female plants
Habitat:
Widespread in East Africa, typically occurring in forested scrub land where it grows under the shade of larger plants.
Cultivation:
Should be watered once every 1 to 2 weeks during the summer, keep dry in winter. The root caudex can grow quite rapidly if over potted and kept in extremely well draining medium (mostly pumice). It is best to keep the caudex buried until it reaches a satisfactory size. Once exposed the growth rate of the caudex is slowed dramatically, if not halted completely.
Adenium arabicum
Family: Apocynaceae
A large above ground caudiciform plant producing a thickened trunk up to 6 feet in diameter. Plant has 2 to 3 inch long oval, slightly pubescent leaves, and 1 to 2 inch wide flowers with fading light pink petals and a yellow to cream colored center.
Habitat:
Native to the Arabian peninsula from Western Saudi Arabia to eastern Yemen where it grows between Granite rocks and along granite cliff faces. It is an extremely arid species and can handle long droughts.
Cultivation:
Should be watered once every 1 to 2 weeks during the summer, keep dry in winter. The caudex can grow quite rapidly if over potted and kept in extremely well draining medium (mostly pumice), up to several inches a season.
A note on nomenclature:
Due to precedence, the accepted name for Adenium arabicum is Adenium obesum, however, this is the same name that was given to a genetically and visibly distinctive species originating from eastern Tanzania. This nomenclatural error (which is not resolved) has resulted in much confusion in the botanical community. Due to this, the majority of plants sold under these names are most likely hybrids between the two species.
Adenium arabicum “Shada”

Plant has 2 to 3 inch long oval, slightly pubescent leaves, and one to 2 inch wide flowers with fading light pink petals and a yellow to cream colored center.
Habitat:
Adenium arabicum is native to the Arabian peninsula from Western Saudi Arabia to eastern Yemen where it grows between Granite rocks and along granite cliff faces. It is an extremely arid species and can handle long droughts.
Cultivation:
Should be watered once every 1 to 2 weeks during the summer, keep dry in winter. The caudex can grow quite rapidly if over potted and kept in extremely well draining medium (mostly pumice), up to several inches a season.

Habitat:
Found from north eastern Mozambique to southern Kenya, this plant grows in dry scrub land, often among grasses and small shrubs
Cultivation:
Should be watered once every 1 to 2 weeks during the summer, keep dry in winter. The caudex can grow quite rapidly if over potted and kept in extremely well draining medium (mostly pumice), up to several inches a season.
A note on nomenclature:
This plant should not be confused with the Arabian Adenium obesum, often referred to as Adenium arabicum, which is a genetically and visibly distinctive species. This nomenclatural error (which is not resolved) has resulted in much confusion in the botanical community. Due to this, the majority of plants sold under these names are most likely hybrids between the two species.
