I pinched a couple of my seedlings about a 3 weeks ago. They havnt shown any sign of branching yet and I am reluctant to pinch the others now. They all dont seem to be growing as fast anymore either. I also pinched my original seedling. It has started a side branch now but no other branches. I am worried this little guy will forever only be a one stem plant :( maybe in a zig zag shape after all my future pruning attempts? I did prune another one of my adeniums and it seems to be branching off good. At least 2 branches from beach pruned stem. I hope it keeps going. It will be a cute little guy and i wish to see the lovely black and red flowers again :)

Wow, all that energy from a wee one. I had 2 prolifs on each of 2 scapes of "Enon" this year. Each put out buds. I am sure they were drawing from the energy of Momma. I let one bloom. The weight of the bloom pulled the prolif off the scape. I cut off the other buds to save those prolifs. It is just so amazing to see such life. Congrats. Hope it goes on to amaze some more.

It won't hurt to try, but it is late in the season, dormancy is knocking on the door. I would give it one feeding with it. It will store the P over the winter and it may make it bloom faster next spring. Did it put out a fake inflo to make it branch or did it already bloom before you got it?

I guess its the end of the growing season for you, but next year will be the start of an even better growing season. 35f at 9:00 pm is pretty cold for sure. Im still amazed at how big your plants get in that short of a growing season (since some of your plants grow better than those in the sothern states). It must be getting very good care. Wow another one is branching too. You are defiantely going to have alot of flower opportunities once it gets old enough (many late next summer, and if not next summer, then probably the summer after). And you already have one blooming, which is great (and probably pretty cool to see it blooming without any leaves on it!). I counted all the pots I have (not counting the indoor pots) and I have 87 (so its better than 100, and Im only bringing in about 40). Not all those pots are big though (some are just hanging baskets, others im trying to root some cuttings in). I dont know how I ended up with that many, but at least I wont be doing too much buying next year (only if I find something really nice). The weather here has improved over the last day or 2, last night only went down to 64 for a low temp and highs have been in the 70s. The 10 day forecast shows no sign of frost for my area yet, so I still have some time to take all my plants in. My pretty princess plumeria, buds are growing very fast now and im hoping to see some blooms in about 2 weeks. Good luck.
