Multi grafts on the same adenium.

10 years ago

This is one of my multi color double grafts. Still more grafted branch without any buds yet, I hope it gives me 1 or 2 more colors next blooming season.

Kirk, that plant is perfect for that pot.
I do have the same pot. It is holding one of my bonsai plant right now.

JRN has many beautiful pots but so expensive.

Can I graft multi fruits to a mature peach tree?
Q

I've always felt that I needed the good mechanical pull that a budding rubber provides, and to keep it from drying out I think it needs to be sealed with parafilm or wax. Parafilm is my first choice because it breathes a little. But it's not enough by itself to make me feel secure! I used the Ace rubber tape this year on clefts and felt like it worked really well. Rubber tape or bands or rubbers all seem good to me. I think that if you use the wide budding rubbers or tape and overlap thoroughly then the parafilm/wax precaution is probably redundant, but it's cheap redundancy and I do it. I use wide and long rubbers also because it's easier to wrap them off- you have so much to work with, and they're cheap enough that you can afford to cut off excess. Like MiHiGirl I'm in the Rockies, but not at a mile high! We're at 3200 ft, give or take a couple of feet. But it's definitely an arid environment: we get about 12-13 inches total precip per year.

Braiding/Plaiting/Pleaching/Fuse-Grafting of Adenium
Q
Comments (32)
UPDATE...... I'm back, sort of. Had to take a lot of time off while being the primary, care-giver for two, aging parents. Washed, cleaned, cooked, shopped, worked, worried, and ran every aspect of their lives. Growing plants had to take the back seat, and many of my plants objected to my neglect, and died. Ingrates! So, for a while, I tried to grow some Adenium. Many rotted, even with the correct care. Most problems started from graft failures. Expensive plants just up and died on me. My braiding experiments were also put on hold. Much too busy to wet-nurse some finicky, Adenium braids. But I will try to duplicate what Marie has done. That was then, and this is now....Parents are gone, and, life goes on. Now I need a good supply of tall Adenium seedlings to braid. My eventual goal: braid some Adeniums and successfully grow them. Top work/graft all the upper branches with one, selected cultivar. Sit back, sip a cold beer, and stare at my work of art. Frank

Question on multi color grafted adeniums
Q
Comments (15)
Those are some great plants you have there. I have only ever seen one Adenium 'in the flesh' for sale here in the UK so for what my humble opinion is worth....my choice would be a triple graft in 3 harmonising colours. If they could be in bloom at the same time as others suggest, I'm sure that would be a real plus point and a definite 'must' for any multi-graft I would think. Then, on thinking about this even further, if they bloomed in succession, you would have the potential of extending the flowering season to months of flowers on one plant surely?? The possibilities and therefore opinions are endless. Gill from the UK. P.S. I would also be very interested in an Adenium plant of any shape/flower colour/specie to save me from growing from seed. lol!

Grafted Adenium invasion has begun

I'm not so sure you can compare orchids to Adeniums. The knowledgeable hobbyists that grow Adeniums now don't buy from box stores and probably won't unless they see a super deal. Don't see those much in the box market. For instance, there is a big quality difference in what you can buy at a well known cactus and succulent nursery anywhere in the USA and a grower that deals strictly with many forms of Adenium. I don't see box stores competing in that area anyway. They'll pick up few here and there, but for the most part it has to be real cheap. I've been asked a number of times to stock a couple of those stores in my area and I refuse. They want below market priced crap and you to foot the bill if they can't keep it alive. I don't mess with crap. And for the most part, neither will collectors. Sure the average joe will jump all over them and think real growers are overpriced when it comes to fresh grafted stuff or even quality sitting there right before their eyes. But the hobbyist may pay $150.00 or more for a well established specimen. It's been that way in bonsai for 20 years and not much has changed. It just weeded out the business man that couldn't adapt to the times. Adaptation is what makes things work. Trying to match photos on a website is not wise. I can show you 4 different photos of blooms on the same plant at different times of the year that look nothing alike. Weather conditions, greenhouse or outdoors, season, nutrients, and sun intensity all play a roll in bloom color. randy

Marie,

As always beautiful plants! Congrats!

I have a question, when you graft are you using all branches on the root stock at the same time? I'm afraid that my favorite plant is going to die, and want to try grafting it. I got small DR at HD with nice strong caudex, and 4 branches. Can try all 4 but one has buds and of course I would like to see what color stock is....

TIA, Aggie

Marie, How many acres/hectares of adeniums do you actually have?
You have such an aray of plants.
The multi grafts are amazing and I how that I can try this one day. Have tried a few single grafts on seedling, but I did not do so well with them.
Will try again next year.

Kirk and Marie, those pots are so fitting with your adeniums in them. Wonderful color and shapes.

Marie That multi graft is just great. What year did you start it? I do have hopes someday of grafting my grafts I have been buying onto one plant like that. Wonderful show.

Kirk and Marie both of your plants have good looking caudexes and pots that really show them off. Thank you both. Paula

Thank you Aggie, Rick and Paul.
Aggie, yes you can graft as many color scions on the root stock at the same time. If they bloom at the same time, you lucky, if not, you still happy with the scions and wait more. The plant itself is not going to die. If I was you, I let the mother color buds open first and see what that is. Big Box store now has very nice color DR.

Rick, my back yard only about 10-12 feet. All my DR stay in back. I wish I have bigger backyard. My front yard for COT (crown of thorns) plants. 1/2 of my DR are from seedlings.

Paula, I started grafting 3 years ago and learned from my mistake. Now I am doing well with about 80% scions took.

Marie Tran. Your old post of multi grafts of the Multi grafts don't show could we have an up date please. I have been thinking a one color multi on nice root stock I have. Also will be trying side grafts. The messy look is in and I like simple flowers.
