Adenia ballyi For sale
Key Features
The Adenia Ballyi (often called the “Bottle Plant”) stands out for its uniquely swollen caudex base, which stores water and nutrients to survive harsh, arid environments. Its twisted, vine-like stems and delicate green leaves create a dramatic contrast, making it a living sculpture for shelves, terrariums, or outdoor xeriscapes. Here’s what makes this plant extraordinary:
- Rarity & Exclusivity: Native to Somalia’s dry regions, Adenia Ballyi is hard to find in the wild and even rarer in cultivation. Our ethically sourced plants are propagated sustainably, offering collectors a chance to own a piece of botanical history.
- Low Maintenance: As a drought-tolerant succulent, it thrives on neglect. Water sparingly (once every 2-3 weeks) and provide bright, indirect light for best results.
- Toxicity Note: Handle with care—Adenia Ballyi contains toxic sap. Keep away from pets and children, and wear gloves during repotting.

How to Care for Your Adenia Ballyi
To help your new caudiciform plant thrive, follow these simple guidelines:
- Light Requirements: Provide 6-8 hours of bright, indirect sunlight daily. Avoid harsh midday sun to prevent leaf scorch.
- Soil & Potting: Use a well-draining cactus/succulent mix with perlite or pumice. Terracotta pots with drainage holes are ideal.
- Watering: Water deeply but infrequently—only when the soil is completely dry. Reduce watering in winter (dormant phase).
- Temperature: Keep between 60°F–85°F (15°C–30°C). Protect from frost, as cold damage is irreversible.
- Fertilizing: Feed with a diluted, balanced fertilizer once monthly during the growing season (spring/summer).
