Minimum temps for young veggies
Comments (6)I think they'll all be fine. Artichokes are Mediterranean and can take very very light frost (but most gardeners prefer to err on the side of caution, which is understandable). Just don't put them on grass or in a low lying area - both will get much colder than 31....See Moreminimum temps for dahlia seedlings
Comments (1)You should harden them off if you're going to make them have nights at 40* but then they should be OK as long as they don't freeze....See MoreAdenium seedling rot
Comments (2)Hi Rick, I too (try to) grow adeniums from seed so I know where you are coming from on this one having lost several overwintering youngsters myself!! I think that is the key....youngsters and overwintering...not a good combination especially if they have gone dormant. I think they are far more managable if you can keep them in leaf throughout the whole year. At least I have found this is what works for me and my plants which are 3 at three yrs and 1 at one year old. I also have 12 seeds currently in the propagator but they are proving difficult to germinate at the moment...others have sprouted in 2 days for me...so I wonder how fresh these are. As yours are dormant, I still think the combination of cooler temps and the small amount of water you gave to the leafless plants was just too much for them. It's a fine balance between overwatering and causing rot, or dessicating the roots to such an extent that they won't recover to take up water when you do hydrate them again...I know I've done it and got it wrong!! My current plants have kept growing all year so are still leafy and doing well. What kind of soil are yours in as I know they need exceptionally good drainage? You also mentioned planting up the cut portion of your rotted plant....did you let it callous over for a couple of days or so before potting it up? Forgive me for questioning you like this! Hop over to the cacti/succulent forum and check out Caudex1's posts as he is an authority on adeniums. Hope you find the answers, good luck.

Comments (54)Pagan I will lay it here. The ones that are about thumb size start at about $60. A bit bigger jumps to around $150. The larger ones in my photos are around $210. This is why I have to negotiate because shipping isn't even factored in yet. I say "around" because the Thai currency converters you find online are all wrong. You really don't get a true price until you are paying via Western Union who actually is up to date on currency rates. I have seriously shorted myself by using these online currency converters and have paid dearly....See Morercharles_gw (Canada)
