Exotic desert dweller with large flowers / Indoor bonsai
The exotic desert rose blooms on a bizarre, water-storing succulent stem (caudex), which the plant developed as an adaptation to its original habitat for water retention. It delights bonsai enthusiasts with a profusion of blossoms, covering the entire plant with five-centimeter-wide, pinkish-red flowers.
Natural habitat: The desert rose's natural habitat is the steppe regions of Arabia and Africa.
