Description:

a flowering plant in tropical Africa and Arabia

Habitat:

The desert rose is an evergreen succulent native to the tropical regions of Africa and Arabia. It thrives in humid climates with plenty of rainfall but cannot survive in standing water, making a high-drainage soil necessary. The desert rose has a distinct stem that swells to a large size as it stores water. It is commonly grown as a house plant due to its need of a constant temperature and numerous pink and white flowers.
