Adenium Seedlings from elucas101 Update
Comments (8)Update: My seedlings are about 8 weeks old and all are still doing quite well, and fattening up. I'm very happy and can't wait for them to get even bigger! The gang: This one is actually branching on its own: This one has different pointy narrow leaves: This one is still tall and skinny: Hard to tell in the pic but this one has huge leaves compared to the rest: Also hard to tell but this one has 2 first leaves on one side and the usual one on the other side - it's also the smallest: -Heather...See MoreAdenium seedlings hydro experiment
Comments (40)I'm "Bob" I was using my partners account for this thread. My seedlings were looking really good they had all branched out by early Oct 2016 and were nice little fatties with round ping pong size caudex and 3-5 branches. Unfortunately i moved to a new place that had alot of property, but no room to grow indoors. I went on a trip to Florida and was afraid it was going to get too cold so I had a roommate bring them into a hoophouse that was on the property, with all the rest of my tender plants. The hoop house was unventilated and there were a couple days where the temps bounced back to the low to mid 90s, the hoop house temps got to around 115-120+ degrees F. The sap in all my adenium, plumerias, and dorstenias "boiled" and exploded. i was devistate when i came home to a bunch of boiled exploded plants. because of this I decided to start growing and collecting succulents that are cold hardy so I didnt have to do the succulent shuffle. after the trauma of loosing all my adeniums I stopped coming on the forum. I miss adeniums lots though and im planning a move to southern california partly so i can start growing plants that wont make it through my winters up here in north east california. About 80 percent of my motivation to move has to do with growing these plants year round outside. im hoping to be living down south by mid to end dec 2017. The peat plugs that they were started in, in the aerogarden were planted into pots and the adeniums were starting to establish real nice too. the only plants that survived the tragedy were four of my fockea edulis which started putting out new growth late in the spring 2017.. my fockeas even survived the winter with little protection since i thought they were just pots with soil in them. i thought they had died too. when i do start adenium seeds again it will be hydroponically. until then im growing lots of sempervivums,jovibarbas, aloes, haworthias and gasterias. ive also just started working a little with echeverias, but they still make me nervous that it might get too cold in the winter here for them. I took offsets from a friend who has them in her garden year round, and i akso planted mine into the ground, so they should be good with a light cover even with a short freeze. sorry I dont have them anymore to show pictures!...See MoreSomeone has a Dorset Horn Adenium seedling!
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 MoreWhat are the results of grafting albino adenium seedlings?
Comments (3)The first link above shows threads from Mike, Patty, & Kirk. I've seen other seedling graft posts. Hopefully, they will all update us. I can imagine doing this for the albino seedling of a plant that is likely to produce a specific, special bloom ... to save it. Maria Elena...See MoreConnyNL (The Netherlands, 8b)
