About
Adenium thai-socotranum refers to Thai-bred cultivars and selected forms derived from or related to Adenium socotranum, developed by nurseries in Thailand.

Thai breeders have developed an extensive range of flower colors and forms—including pink, red, white, and multicolored varieties. Full sun, extremely porous soil, generous growing-season watering, and complete winter drought are required. Minimum temperature around 10°C. The combination of the impressive round caudex and the wide variety of flower colors available makes Thai socotranum types very popular among Adenium collectors.
