Adenia is a genus in the passionflower family Passifloraceae. Adenia should not to be mistaken for Adenium. Although they are both caudiciform plants and are both named for the city of Aden in Yemen, they belong to different botanical families. Adenias are popular for their swollen woody stem. This type of stem is called a caudex. Adenias form fairly large and decorative ones. Since the caudex is the main attraction, these plants are propagated mostly by seeds since the cuttings, although they strike easily and bloom earlier, rarely produce a caudex. The genus includes a number of tropical and subtropical xerophytes; many of which form substantially thickened bases or lianas.

         

Adenias are dioecious, which means that plants are either male or female, and that you need both sexes in order to produce seeds. These plants originate from Africa and Madagascar, and should be kept at over 4°C. The sap of Adenia is poisonous, and they should be handled with caution, particularly when pruning.

Adenia glauca is from indigenous to South Africa and Botswana. The "ball" or caudex that you see in the picture above can get up to one meter or more in diameter! The branches can reach up to three meters but are normally kept shorter by those growing them as natural bonsai specimens. It can also easily be kept small if kept "pot bound". The flower is green to cream in colour. It can be reproduced both by cuttings and by seeds. Unfortunately cuttings will not form a caudex.
