Adenium Obesum (Desert Rose) -- is it having a problem?
Comments (21)Hi, Ive also been having some trouble out of my Adenium Obesum. But as I am looking through some of the suggested caused and cures. I am finding it a little hard to compare since there are a few differences. I purchased my Adenium Obesum about a month ago online. It arrive healthy, about 2.5-3" tall green and healthy. She was obviously grown from seed since she has the infamous fat trunk. I done a little research before purchasing the plant. I got to know it like dry arid conditions, fast draining soil, and PLENTY of sun light. I also read you could train Adenium Obesum to become indoor tolerant. My potting medium is bonsai potting mix, and sand; no course or dead plant material as it is highly susceptible to root rot. Since it has arrive I placed the plant in indirect sunlight but still pretty bright. After about a week or so I noticed a bit of yellowing in a few of the leaves. Come 2 days later it has spread to a few more, a few days later the first yellowing leaves begin to wilt. Then fall off. You get the idea. So now its a month later and I have a most of the original leaves, but a few have fallen off and most haven either yellowed or becoming yellow. I know my water is draining fast, the only thing I can think is light, or the water I am currently using (tap) is not kosher with my Adenium Obesum. Please help, I want to see my little girl thrive. I know Adenium Obesum are such BEAUTIFUL trees, which is why I purchased it to begin with. The situation isnt too dire, but until I get some help I have her placed outside my window in direct sunlight most of the day. Btw I am watering her about once-twice a week. Im still figuring out what she likes as far as water. Remember this is a baby not some of the beauts you guys have posted. Thanks once again, Stefan...See MoreHAVE: Adenium (Desert Rose) and Hoyas for Daylilies or ???
Comments (0)I have three adeniums (desert rose) for trade. I got these from a friend last year. She bought them for a pretty pricey amount on Ebay. I haven't seen them bloom, but one is supposed to be pink, one is supposed to be white, and one is supposed to be red. These appear to be grafted. The caudexes are about an inch in diameter, more or less. They've survived my neglect and have a few leaves and 2 or more branches. But they need more respect than I give them. I just am not great with houseplants. I've also got a hoya for trade--possibly hoya carnosa if I remember correctly. It is a rooted plant. I want to trade these for exotic NAMED daylilies that you have seen bloom and verified them to be correctly named. No walmart or lowe's "named" varieties please. They are most often mislabeled. I love edges, ruffles, gold-dusted petals, eyes, etc. No plain janes please. I've been culling those out of my gardens. My MEMBER page lists most of the daylilies I already have. I could also be tempted to trade for other rare perennials on my wish list. I'll trade one or all, depending on what you offer. I prefer them to go as a group though to save on shipping costs. I WILL NOT "TRADE" THESE FOR SASE. My trade page lists other plants I have to offer too. So if you see something else you're interested in, let me know. I don't usually do this, but for this special trade, I will hold my end til I receive yours, unless I know you. I always fulfill my end. I have a 99% rating on Ebay if you'd like to read my feedback. I can give you my ebay name by email and you can check me out. Thank you for looking! Hope someone wants to adopt these houseplants....See MoreRooting Adenium-Desert Rose
Comments (3)That's great ! congratulations. In time it will grow a nice caudex years to come you may not even tell the difference from a grafted Adenium. I like rooted adeniums and seedlings even better than grafted plants....See MoreDesert Rose branches bending with growth. Normal?
Comments (5)Allan, This can be usual growth expected from many Adeniums. Even in climates where they have long growing periods and warmth most of the year. Factors that could lead to this outside of above conditions could be not enough sunlight, too much nitrogen in fertilizer. The majority of people would prune this plant in order to keep it with a more compact growth habit and usually a full head of blooms. More blooms as there are more branches which form from pruning, which gives more terminal growth for blooms. Rick...See MoreSruthi Balachandran
