Can you prune adenium obesum plants?

Yes you can prune the plant. Pruning allows the branches to produce more blooms and also removes diseased branches so that the plant remains healthy. This Adenium obesum plant does not require much maintenance and grows best. If you want to prune your plant, then make sure you wear gloves to protect your hands. Prune the plant to shape it to your desired size and remove any branches that rub against one another. Shaping the plant allows the air to circulate and the sunlight to penetrate the flowers. Do not remove more than one-third of the plant. Pinch the seedlings during vigorous growth. This will help new branches to develop on the he plant. Remove stems in the spring that no longer produce leaves. This will allow new growth to develop. Cut off the dead stems and decaying branches down to the trunk or the main stem. Root rot is common to the plant. Always clean the pruning shears with rubbing alcohol to prevent spreading any diseases. Remove suckers that grow from the base of the plant. The suckers will steal the energy that the dessert rose needs to grow. Yes, and left unpruned the plant naturally grows quite spindly. Take care as the plants tend to 'bleed' a lot. Try misting them with water to help seal the cuts. Also, the sap is a toxic irritant, so avoid contact with it.

When to prune flowering plants?

You should prune a flowering plant before it starts to bud out in the Spring. This is the best time to encourage new growth. For shaping, anytime the plant is dormant, has lost its leaves, will work. If you need to do some work during the summer, wait until after the plant has flowered.
