Adenium Bonsai Caudex is Shrinking || How to Revive

The present video, Adenium Bonsai Caudex is Shrinking || How to Revive, is a very essential tutorial video for adenium growers. Friends, if you are an adenium grower, you may have faced the problem that your adenium caudex is shrinking like the adenium bonsai shown in this video. The secret to revive the plant is to find out the reason of shrinking. Adenium caudex shrinking occurs mainly after repotting. The video shows an adenium bonsai tree repotted 5 months ago. It had been growing well for first 3 months. After 3 months the caudex of the adenium plant began shrinking. Now the caudex is not soft. It`s shrinking. The branches and the leaves are green. As I myself look after the plants, I know well that the desert rose never goes shortage of water. So I think there is a little rot problem. Then the video proceeds to see what`s happening beyond our eyes. After pulling out the adenium bonsai from soil it is seen that there is no development under the soil. No feeder roots are seen. The plant has given away the media. Some roots have rotten out. There are also some patches of discoloration on the roots. One large root feels soft.
Considering all these, we may conclude that : Somehow any fungal problem occurs in the media and the media becomes incompatible with the plant. So the plant begins exhausting the nutrient and water stored in its caudex to survive. And the caudex shrinks releasing nutrient and water. There is some root rot because the adenium has been sitting long in moist incompatible media.
Now the video shows the remedial steps: As shown in the video, the infection is not severe but it goes deep. If repotted the plant may heal itself in the new media. But I`m not willing to take the risk. Hence the remedial steps are:
1. The infected tissues are cut off.
2. Branches and leaves are cut.
3. The cut area is covered with fungicide.
4. The plant is dried in shade for 7 days.
5. Repotting after 7 days` drying in the new media.
6. Applying rooting hormone.
7. Keeping the media moist until any development is seen.

Dot Basecamp,you are the best.of all the adenium videos I have learned the most from you.I have had so much fun with my adeniums because of you and I want to thank you for it.Thank you.and thank you for answering all of my questions and comments.you are truly the master.no one can surpassed you

[@dotbasecamp]

Wow, thank you.

[@carynludwig6667]

Have learned so much from you! Excellent narration and clear video angles. Thank you from Montana, where growing adeniums is a challenge, but not impossible!! All stages of growth, pruning, repair, etc., just take longer. Our outdoor growing season is very short, with most of the year they are kept inside. Thankfully, I have a small, heated garden room building with windows on 3 sides and southern facing skylights. Plus additional grow lights on the north side. We’ll see if that is enough for flowers, though. Biggest problem so far is managing the water.....they rot at the drop of a hat!!! (Slang).....meaning they rot very easy!!!!!😳

[@dotbasecamp]

Make use of the heated garden room. Use very fast draining media. Wish u the best.

[@rmar7242]

[@andreimandru4800]

Dear Master, thank you! This problem has a noticeable frequency among succulents, I have it with my Crassula Ovatta. When you was cutting the caudex, I feel a pain in my heart... But it's true, only the radical cutting could save the plant. Your video is very instructive and useful, thanks a lot!

[@dotbasecamp]

Hello Sir... Excellent topic.. Doctor Adenium... Your hands are so gifted... Sir I did a flat cut on my adenium to follow root training... And I noticed d caudex getting soft... I took it out and it has two thin roots.. should I follow this video and check for root rot.. or wait... Please help...

[@dotbasecamp]

You can check if the caudex still feels soft. Otherwise it may go out of control.

[@navinhookoom3584]

Could you plse advise on the components of your new mix? Thanks!

[@dotbasecamp]

As my only purpose is to grow roots I use 3 parts sand + 3 parts coco peat + 1 part compost.

[@petercalthorpe7966]

Awesome great tips . Thankyou for sharing , stay safe all the best from Downunder 👍

[@dotbasecamp]

Thanks, you too!

[@lornalewis6420]

Very interesting video I have learned how to prune my adenium but I can't get the cuttings to catch. Please help me

[@dotbasecamp]

Put the cuttings in sandy cutting media.

[@mariabrownell7930]

What is the big stick you use on dirt and roots. I am dying to get one. If you know of a place also.

[@dotbasecamp]

It`s a hand made wooden pointer stick. Any carpenter can make it.

[@singhpratap3600]

Sir i had seen the vedio, as you said the media should be moist for one month untill the further development ,but you didn't mention how to keep it moist as you didn't give wateso little confusing, can you pl guide

[@esamhimzawi628]

As always, Very interesting and informative Could you please mention the time of year you’re working on each project in your videos or in the description. Many thanks

[@dotbasecamp]

Thank you for good suggestion.I`ll do.

[@sabrinachew4124]

Hi. I don't have rooting hormone. Can I use turmeric powder? I also don't have cinnamon powder.

[@dotbasecamp]

No need.Turmeric powder is not the substitute of rooting hormone.

[@devanshishah473]

Nice video sir... I am also face this type of problem... But in my case roots are healthy... N caudex became soft... After repotting within a week... So what can i do for survive my adenium?

[@dotbasecamp]

Change potting mix.

[@jonathanandrade8419]

Sir please tell d size of your pots.. height and breadth... Mine are in plastic pots... Thank you...

[@dotbasecamp]

Pot size depends on plant size. As for mature adenium leave 2 inch space between the pot and the root (side) and leave 2-3 inch under the root.

[@xpertmuneer1241]

But which is best season for this work?

[@dotbasecamp]

It`s a treatment to a problem. So it has no time. You have to do it whenever the problem is detected.

[@stirer1]

What could you use if you can not get funguside

[@dotbasecamp]

Use turmeric powder.

[@meghaarekere6505]

I don’t have fungicide Can I use neem oil sir

[@dotbasecamp]

Use cinnamon powder.

[@kktan7206]

Hi, after repotting how long will you start to water again?

[@dotbasecamp]

I generally use moist potting mix and water needs after 2-3 days. But if any big root is cut I use dry potting mix and water after 3 days.

[@janicefrancis5193]

Thank you for your videos. I've followed all your instructions, however it's been 7 days. I don't see any new growth yet. 2 more days in the shade. I don't know if it will make it. The caudex feels a little soft to me.

[@srDanOver]

What are your fungicide?

[@dotbasecamp]

SAAF.

[@baijayanteesethi2266]

Good evening sir 🙏🙏🙏 Woww nice 👌👌👌 technique to revive the adenium plants from shrinking. Before 2 years I hv threw 2 or 3 plants after root rotting...my plants weren't flowering n coudex were damaged I didn't know about dis technique... Omg I had lost my adenium☹☹ Always watching ur useful tips about adenium plants...now white insects like melibouge r present in backside of leaves...wat wl I do,,,,Plz reply me sir 🙏🙏🙏 Thnq sir for sharing the useful information 🙏🙏🙏..

[@dotbasecamp]

It`s difficult to totally control mealy bugs if established because they are very resistant to most pesticides. Still hand pick is, I think, the best for small size plants like adeniums. Clear them with cotton wet in 50% isopropyl alcohol. Then spray any insecticide containing Imidacloprid. Control and destroy the source of ants which often come with mealy bugs.

[@ashutoshshukla8181]

please give the update of this vedio

[@ashutoshshukla8181]

that weather your plant survived or not

[@dotbasecamp]

Update will come after winter.

[@Askimbhai]

You didn't say anything about watering! Did you give water after repotting or not? Tell me kindly!!

[@dotbasecamp]

Use moist potting mix. Keep it in shade and no water for 3-4 days. Then sprinkle water to keep the soil always moist. Apply full water after new shoots come out.

[@Askimbhai]
