Adenium obesum 'Picotee'
Adenium obesum 'Picotee' is a captivating variety of desert rose, admired for its spectacular flowers that feature a striking contrast between bright red borders and white or pinkish centers. This variety is particularly popular with collectors for its distinctive flowering and robust habit.
Origin: Like other members of the Adenium family, 'Picotee' is native to arid regions of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, where it is adapted to hot, dry climates.
Growth: Adenium obesum 'Picotee' is characterized by its thick caudex and sturdy branches that support shiny green leaves. This plant can reach a height of 1 to 3 meters in optimal conditions, although its growth is generally slower and more compact as a houseplant.
Flowers: The most notable feature of 'Picotee' is its dramatic flowers, which appear mainly during the warm summer months. The large, trumpet-shaped flowers attract attention with their distinctive red edges that blend into a white or pink center, creating a striking visual effect.
Light: This plant requires full sun exposure to flourish and produce an abundance of flowers. Indoors, place near a window that receives plenty of direct light, or consider using artificial light to supplement lighting needs.
Watering: As a succulent, Adenium 'Picotee' requires little water. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, and reduce watering in winter to match its dormant period.
Substrate: Use a well-draining mix, ideal for cacti and succulents. The substrate should include components such as coconut fiber, bark of different sizes, pumice, perlite, and charcoal to ensure effective drainage and prevent root rot.
Toxicity: Adenium obesum 'Picotee' is toxic if ingested and can be irritating to the skin and mucous membranes due to the latex it contains. Take precautions, especially around children and pets.
