Comments (80)As I had said, this wasn't a plant tour, but now I regret not taking more than a few seeds... I had planted this one about five weeks ago, and just checked on it this morning, and now I have a little Jackfruit tree (Artocarpus heterophyllus). If anyone knows this fruit, they know how huge it is, really impressive. Now the problem is, the root already came out of the drain hole, don't know if I should just replant the whole pot in a larger one, or try to extricate the root without doing damage...

Comments (38)Nice thread, beautiful plants! Good job! Yes, it's perfectly normal for seedlings to be very hit and miss with regards to looking like the parent plants or not. Only grafted plants or other cuttings are clones of the original. For one thing with seeds you don't always know if they are selfed or cross pollinated with something else entirely. A lot of sellers don't tell you! Also with white flowers you are dealing with the alba gene with is an 'on or off' switch that masks the real color of the flower. /Some/ hybridizers work very hard to line breed very specific colors through many generations and thereby get much higher results looking similar to the parent plants. But most do not. Anyway, I would be /delighted/ to get such diversity from a white seed parent! All of your plants turned out to be quite lovely, whether they are what you wanted or not. I hope you like them too! They look very healthy and lovely....See Moreadenium soil advice.

Comments (26)I think you'll go there and take some snapshots too, Martin lol And now, we'll all be expecting it. I was surprised, too, Susana. I thought it would look kind of sick, the way adeniums become discolored when stressed, usually from malnutrition. But it's a different kind of red tinge and there is a nice sheen to the leaves. The branches are lighter-colored, more yellow than green. It's a little more spindly than I like, but I'll give it until July before I prune it. Pagan...See MorePagan
