Help me please with my Adenium obesium seed pods!!
Comments (2)Well your pictures didnt work but maybe I can help. I believe you let the pods stay on the plant until they start to crack open. I've even heard of people rubber banding baggies over the pods to collect the seed. After collecting pull the feathery hairs off and their ready to plant. To germinate the temp is the key, 80-90 degrees F is ideal. Lay the seed horizonally in seed starting soil then sprinkle no more than 1/4in of soil over the top. Mist the soil really well, I place plastic wrap over the top of the pot to help keep it moist, the soil dries quick at 90 deg F. They sould germinate in about a week. After they pop you may have to help them shed the shell from the seed. Good luck. Jeremiah Here is a link that might be useful: this may help also...See MoreMy adenium seedlings are dying.

Comments (20)I've made Sherry's spinach brownies a couple of times and I really like them. Ashley doesn't and that's fine, more for me. Of course, she likes Subway and spaghetti sauce from a jar, so what can I say, LOL. I've only made them in a square pan, and I know some people who just detest spinach, so I don't serve these to those people. David won't even kiss Amanda if she eats one, because he says she TASTES like spinach. I have also used Chase's spanakopita recipe recently because I had phyllo dough left from that mushroom tart. I didn't make the little bite sized ones because they were too time consuming for the time I had. I liked the spanakopita too, baked in that square pan. It's a good thing we all have different tastes. I know I love the onion filling in my onion braid and make double. Sherry thinks it's too "slimy". I always double the lemon in Marilyn's lemon brownies, but I double the lemon in nearly everything lemon. I also made Marilyn's lemon cake roll for the Michigan Run and ended up throwing about half of it away, not because it wasn't good but because I just had too darned much food. I won't eat anything with olives in it and I believe you CAN have too much garlic. Oh, and I hate and detest the red sauce on pizza and I only eat spaghetti with red sauce about twice a year, when I can't weasel out of it. (shrug) It's what makes the world go round. So, anyone want to discuss grits, or sugar in cornbread, or cinnamon rolls vs. sticky buns or miracle whip vs. mayo or canned soup? Annie...See MorePlease Help My Grafted Adenium Plant
Comments (25)Ben - thats an interesting article. Yes , all my grafted plants comes from RareImports, they get them from Thailand. For me its cheaper to drive 30 min to RareImports as they are based in WA. I did look at importing myself, but, the treatment of plants and permit cost too much. Also, I spoke to the owner few weeks ago, he told me the whole shippment container of Adenium got destroyed as they found 1 sick plant, they didnt treat the single plant they destroyed all, he wasn't happy. So I think its risky to import, especially in the WA where they have tough importing laws. I think I'm lucky living 30 min drive from RareImports nursery :)...See Moreindigovenice
