Adenium

In Malaysia's Chinese, Adenium always categorized as flower that keep/grow by old folks. Old folks like them because its name in Chinese is 富贵花, means, wealth. Beside that, adenium can easily bloom at our tropical weather. 

Initially I brought 3 S size adenium for wife's grand mum. Because of certain reason, she and family unable take care them. End up, it hanging at my garden. After do more research and influence by few "nice" friend, end up, got 3 more M size adenium at my house (1 is FOC from the friend).

2 of them bloom and few plant is giving flower bulb as well.

Care sheet at tropical country : drainage media. fertilize them once a week. Water them if the media is dry. I water them daily or every 2 days (depends on weather and moisture of the media)
