Yep, nice healthy looking seedlings there, tedb4....I have 2 batches of 10 seeds each from Mr. Ko that I'm waiting for right now--a couple of specific crosses he made that were/are "Buy it Now" on Ebay--I hate bidding! Isn't it curious how some seedlings turn reddish or darken with exposure to intense sunlight.....yet some exposed to the same amount of light remain light green? Maybe it's just my attention to the smallest of details since I'm an airbrush artist who paints as realistically as I can, but part of the enjoyment for me of growing adeniums from seed is noticing all the little differences and such as they grow.....like how some get fat stems quicker than others, how most arabicum seeds are so much bigger than obesum seeds--and thus result in bigger seedlings from the start, or the three cotyledons then making three true leaves instead of pairs.....they just seem to be endlessly fascinating to me! And I certainly envy the heat you have for raising seedlings in Abu Dhabi, tedb4--I'm lucky if I see a few days in the low to mid 90's.....and then only in July and August! Mike in MN

Hi trace, hmm I will prob end up sowing a few of all of them, or do you think best to sow more of just one or two varieties? Just put some mini greenhouse shelving into the tent to create more space aswell as running both light in one tent, same idea as Martin really. I would prefer a tent really that's not as tall but much wider lol so there's more floor space rather than adding shelves. Seeds from rinoa at present don't look too good, only signs of a few germinating out of 40 or so seeds sown.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Mr. Ko (Chi Lung Ko) does not live in Brazil, unless there happens to be a second Mr. Ko.. The Mr. Ko we all know as a reputable seller of good quality seeds and plants lives in Tainan City, Taiwan.. His website adenium.com.tw will confirm his address.. Unfortunately you may have spent your time and money visiting a person who sold you seeds which may or may not produce plants with blue flowers.. I do hope that your plants thrive and give you beautiful flowers but I wouldn't bet on them being what you are expecting.. Good luck to you!

Jan,

I'm no expert, but I I'd say they still have enough space to grow together some more. Just make sure that the more vigorous growers don't overwhelm the slower and shier ones!
Great babies you got there! The foundation of a veritable Adenium plantation! Love it how some have that reddish hue to their stems! They must have been basking in a lot of sun!

Jan, I am of the same opinion as Lena. They look to have enough room for now. I think you are from Texas? I would transplant into individual small pots atleast a month or two before you would be having to bring them in for fall. This would give them some time to root up a bit in new pots. You will be able to manage watering or lack there of through out the winter months.
Nice group.

Jan,

They are very nice looking seedlings and growing well.
I agree with the above statements on transplanting. I have seeds started two weeks ago and hope they grow fast in time to transplant in late September.
