Desert Rose (Adenium obesum) are from the striking Adenium obesum, grow into sculptural plants with thick, swollen trunks and vivid, trumpet-shaped flowers. Native to arid regions of Africa and the Middle East, this succulent shrub is a favorite among collectors and bonsai enthusiasts for its dramatic form and vibrant blooms in shades of red, pink, and white. Start seeds in a warm, humid environment using well-draining cactus soil. With adequate heat and light, germination occurs in 7–14 days. Once established, the plant thrives in full sun and infrequent watering, developing its iconic caudex shape. Ideal for containers and warm indoor spaces, Desert Rose adds exotic flair with minimal care, as long as overwatering is avoided.

Soak seeds in warm water for 6–8 hours before planting to soften the seed coat and speed up germination—then give them bottom heat (25–30°C/77–86°F) with a heat mat for best results.

Getting to know your Desert Rose

The Desert Rose isn’t your typical succulent—and it’s definitely not your average houseplant. With its thick, swollen trunk (called a caudex), sculptural branches, and flamboyant, trumpet-shaped blooms in hot pinks, reds, or whites, the Desert Rose is a drama queen in all the best ways. If it had a motto, it would be: “Look good, survive anything, bloom like you mean it.”

And if you’re the type who enjoys a challenge, try growing her from seed. It’s a long-haul game, but the seedlings are adorable and satisfying to raise. Or you can propagate from cuttings—just be sure to let them callous over before planting.

Desert Rose isn’t the kind of plant that blends into the background. She’s an icon, a survivor, and a total showoff when the mood strikes. Treat her right—sun, dryness, admiration—and she’ll bloom for you in bursts of unapologetic beauty. She’s a desert diva, and proud of it.

Types of Seeds We Offer

Hybrid Seeds (F1)

F1 hybrid seeds are the garden’s high achievers — created by crossing two specially chosen parent plants for superior vigor, uniformity, and performance. We use only traditional breeding methods to produce these powerhouse seeds.

Open-Pollinated & Heirloom Seeds

Our open-pollinated (OP) seeds naturally reproduce through wind, insects, water, or self-pollination. When grown in isolation, they produce true-to-type plants year after year.

Among our OP seeds are treasured heirloom varieties — old favorites that have been carefully passed down for generations. While OP plants can be less uniform than hybrids, we run our Open-Pollinated Project to select the most reliable, flavorful, and beautiful strains. Many are also available as certified organic seeds.

Non-GMO: What It Means and Why It Matters

GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) is created when scientists alter a plant’s DNA in a lab — often by inserting genes from completely unrelated species — to achieve certain traits, like pest resistance or herbicide tolerance. This is a far cry from natural plant breeding.

At Shido, we believe gardening should stay as close to nature as possible. All our seeds — whether hybrid, heirloom, organic, or open-pollinated — are Non-GMO. They’re bred using traditional methods that respect natural biodiversity, giving you safe, wholesome seeds that grow into plants just as nature intended.

When you plant Shido Non-GMO seeds, you’re choosing purity, sustainability, and peace of mind — along with a garden full of flavor, color, and beauty.
