This easy-to-
grow succulent
has an attractive
woody caudex
that can exceed
3’ tall x 2’ wide
once the plant is
mature. Annual
vines with serrated
leaves appear
during the summer
growing season
and can reach up
to 10’ long. The
plant flowers at
a relatively small
size (1-2’ in height)
and the cream-colored
flowers are
extremely fragrant and reminiscent of gardenia. Adenia are dioecious with
male and female flowers appearing on different plants. The most active
growth phase is during the warm summer months. Apply a light application
of fertilizer during active growth. Water sparingly during the winter rest period.
This is a trouble-free plant that makes a good addition to your rare plant
or succulent collection.
