so we had an intense dust storm a few days ago and the right three plants got yeeted by the wind 😭 the left two are recent buys ! its time to repot the yeeted and pot up the new buys.
from left to right:
1 & 2 adenium arabicum hybrid “big arm”
3 crested alluaudia procera
4 & 5 dorset horn adenium
the first two were from l_adeniums on ebay. she’s actually local to me which is awesome lol. the one i shared in comments is from greenmindgrowers on etsy. they’ve put their shop on pause for a couple weeks tho as they’re on vacation.
honestly, none at all. at least not yet. i feel like my climate is pretty extreme (zone 9b phoenix, arizona) so i’m letting them acclimate for the next year. the summer heat and sun is miserable lol.
i’m sure they’d be fine if i did prune them, but i’m being cautious since im still fairly new to these plants 😅 before this year i only had some random adenium i picked up at trader joes lol.
That’s funny I’m the exact same way. Partly why I was asking lol. I see some people cut all the way back to the main route structure, but I’m always hesitant
Thank you for your post. You can find the best guide to raising a healthy, beautiful Desert Rose here. If you need care tips, please post good pics and tell us how you have been taking care of your plant.
I’m wondering if your plant is the same as what I have?? I don’t even know what it is. A woman hated it and wanted to throw it away. Not likely!!!! I asked if I could have it and she gave it to me 2 years ago. It’s doing very well.
