Adenium obesum advice needed
Comments (9)Andrea, Arizona sun will be OK for adenium, just be careful with caudex and roots! Double pots are great for protecting roots from overheating, especially after watering. This summer I killed 4 adeniums, they were on smallish size and roots cooked in small black nursery pots during 90+ weather with heavy rain! When i pulled first one out of pot, I realized that temp inside must be above 120 degrees, add humid media and you have DR soup instead of roots :(. I had always kept my DRs in bigger clay pots and never had this problem, and now I lost whole bunch at once! I believe that second pot would help prevent this problem!

Comments (7)Tammy, nurseries will ship when the time has come to dig in their location. You can specify a later ship date, and you may get freshly dug rhizomes, or not, or they may run out of the variety you ordered. Walter Moore has promoted a method for handling the 'I got iris shipped when it was too hot to re-plant" situation. Basically you pot up the rhizomes into 4" pots with potting mix and place them outside in the shade - watering frequently. When the day temps are in the 80's or less with temperate weather in the future it is safe to plant them out. Planting Rhizomes when it is over 90 -100 in full sun may lead to them rotting before they get growing. If you have to plant under these conditions - make some kind of shade - even a shingle stuck into the ground on the South side is helpful....See MoreMy Adenium needs serious help, please.
Comments (109)The best thing to use is actual soap (castile or other), which is distinct from detergent (ie: dawn and friends - if you look carefully you'll see they never use the word soap on their labels). Often you can find peppermint castile at many places, but there are other kinds of real soap as well. Detergent has been shown to have some effectiveness, and is often recommended, but it's not soap, and is more likely to contain chemicals you might not want on your leafs, and is likely less effective than actual soap at deterring/killing your pests. any kind of "insecticidal soap", like that sold by safer and others, is made of real soap and not detergent. I think it's likely the curling/misformed young leafs in your photos are caused by whatever is there, and if you don't address it will get worse. Leafs like that are usually caused either by pests or some kind of nutrient uptake issue caused by salt buildup in the mix [too much fert, not enough flushing], overly alkaline irrigation water, or other reasons.

Comments (63)Awesome finds for everyone. Tracy, I would sort of be inclined to leave the two together. I kind of actually like that. But wish the tops were growing more outward from each other to give a better balance. It just reminds me of trees in the forest that grow side by side. Like a deep connection twins often have with each other. Either way it's a tough call. Wonder if the blooms would compliment each other. Kirk...See More
