Extended periods below 40øF (4øC) might kill some of the branch tips. Ideally, growing temperature should be around 30øC. However, in winter, keep it cooler. Adenium multiflorum grows mostly in sandy soil and rocky habitats. In summer, if possible, move outdoors to a sunny or partly shaded location. It needs a lot of light and fresh air. Keep in a bright location in winter. The extended root system helps it survive long periods of time without water. Don?t water the plant when it goes dormant. When new buds appear, the plant has come out of its dormant state.
