They are best grown in pots in full sun. The planting medium should allow excellent drainage. Too much water will rot the roots and Caudex ===Propagation=== Adenium can be easily [[propagate]]d by [[seed]], [[cutting]]s and [[graft]]ing. ===Pests and diseases=== {{edit-pests}} ==Species== The genus ''Adenium'' has been held to contain as many as twelve species. These are considered by other authors to be subspecies or [[variety (botany)|varieties]].
