Because it resembles a Baobab it is also called the Jackal Baobab although the more poetic amongst us prefer using its common name: Desert Rose. This indoor plant bears magnificent bicolour flowers in summer. Of the same family than the Oleanders, it is also necessary to wash our hands after pruning it, because it has highly toxic sap.
