Adenia aloboensis
caudiciform
Description
Adenia aloboensis is a succulent plant that is characterized by its unique caudex (swollen stem base) that serves as a water storage organ. The plant produces thin, climbing stems with attractive, deeply lobed leaves. Its flowers are small and inconspicuous, but the plant's unusual form makes it an interesting specimen. Adenia aloboensis thrives in well-draining soil and requires full sun to partial shade, with protection from frost. It prefers a warm and dry environment, making it suitable for xeriscaping or container gardening. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
