Size Control and Pruning

In nature, Adenium obesum can assume the proportions of a large shrub or small tree. However, they live quite happily if their size is restricted, and they will bloom faithfully. Size can be restricted by under-potting.  The plant in the picture on the first website is about 20 years old, is about 20 inches tall, and is in a 9 inch pot.
