[@Sooner-im9qf]

Devin, I have a huge Adenium and was looking for some tips on pruning/shaping it and found this video. I thought it was excellent. I don't know if you have had speech, or actor's training, but technically I think you are a good presenter! You enunciate clearly; neither speak too fast, nor too slow; you give very useful information that is well organized and understandable; and you have a natural likable relatable personality on camera. I like that you list your tools and links where to buy. AND I especially appreciate and LIKE that you didn't play some awful music through the whole video as some of these KZbinrs do! So thanks. P.S. I live in sub tropical zone and my large Adenium stays outside year round. I think I covered it one time with a an old sheet when we had a hard freeze warning. It was cool/dry season and it was in dormancy anyway, but I covered it.

[@plantvibrations]

You’re so lucky to be able to grow them in the landscape! Have you tried propagating them? I have a nice video showing how :) and thank you! For my ‘real’ job, I present plants on the tv channel QVC here in the states

[@Sooner-im9qf]

@@plantvibrations Aha! I was going to say you should be on TV, but you already ARE! Yay! Was just considering trying to propagate, since I will have plenty of cuttings after pruning. Will def be watching more of your videos! And will look for you on QVC! Thanks for all the good info.

[@teresapool7594]

I so wish I had watched this sooner. My desert rose had a caudex that was as big as my head. I made the mistake of watering it weekly in the winter. When I went to do the early prune, it was mush down to the core. A sad day but I’ve learned a new lesson..

[@plantvibrations]

Omg my heart is crying reading that!

[@lealangto9511]

so beautiful thanks for sharing really helpful very informative stay blessed😍😍😍

[@plantvibrations]

Blessings to you!!

[@zoutewand]

To keep feeder roots you should water in winter (once every 1 or 2 months), if you dont give rhem water those roots will die off. When summer starts, those dessicated roots will start to decompose and that will increase the chance of root rot. This is not meant as a criticism, but to explain part of why you don't want it to dry out completely :)

[@zoutewand]

Personally I also believe it's detrimental to prune. You want as few branches as possible. The way to do that is by not pruning it. When you prune it, it will not grow a thicker caudex, it will focus its energy on growing new branches. All the weight on those long branches will also increase the thickness of the branch and this also has an effect on the caudex (like how bonsai growers have sacrificial branches). Pruning is what you do for shaping the branches, not for the caudex. In my experience, overfeeding, specifically overfeeding nitrogen, will cause more branch growth and less caudex growth. Experiment with this stuff yourself, get 20 seeds and treat half of them with no pruning and the other with pruning. In my own observations the plant least messed with tends to grow the biggest. But that is ofcourse only my experience/opinion :)

[@zoutewand]

And fun fact. The reason you can defiolate without much issue. Is that the caudex itself is also capable of photosynthesis. The leaves are way better at it, but when it's dry in its native habitat the plant itself can still gather energy just by existing :D

Great video! I got busy and haven’t done my pruning or repotting yet. I’ll wait until May. New Subbie BTW! Thanks for the content. Gonna be useful on my journey starting my Desert Rose nursery and growing from Seed. From my plant I got as a gift several years ago, I grew a seed pod and harvested the seeds. I got my first babies grown from my own hand with about 100% germination rate with my method. They are two months old today. I’ll be posting their progress on my channel soon. Happy growing!!

[@plantvibrations]

That’s amazing!! I’ve never tried growing from seed so I really need to attempt it!

[@randypereira4400]

They were surprising easy to germinate. The trick was catching the seed pods before they exploded outside. I cut them off when they were turning brown and put inside a container. Glad I did. It was almost like a large milkweed blew up. I pulled the large fluff off the end and just pressed into regular garden soil in a seed tray. After a good watering, I put in a large, clear bag to keep moist and in a short time, there were little plants popping up.

I mean she’s still alive so i wasn’t scrambling to find videos 101 haha I was very shocked to see you prune so aggressively and was cringing the entire time as i watched you but I now understand the purpose. She does have thinner, more delicate branches so hopefully by Aug/Sep (in LA) I can prune so she can grow back bolder. Thanks for giving me the knowledge & confidence! Hope to see some follow-up videos of those in this video.

[@denisesoles7180]

Devin, I love how your videos are so easy to understand and follow. I am a beginner at growing plants. I have a desert rose that has finally started blooming. It’s beautiful! How often do I water it while it is blooming? I live in zone 9a, Jax, Fl. It’s very hot and humid. We are in the 90’s everyday in the summer months. Should I leave it out in the hot, direct sun all day? I left my plants for 5 days to go camping. I returned and my desert rose is still blooming but a lot of the leaves have tuned yellow! It didn’t get any water while I was gone. What happened and how can I fix these? Thank you for your help.

[@plantvibrations]

Sometimes they’ll drop leaves while in bloom simply due to available nutrients being used on flower formation, it’s normal. In your region you can continue to water very regularly all summer and leave in the sun

[@plantvibrations]

Awesome!! Glad to help!

[@johnhannah8116]

I've had Adeniums for 30 years now. I've learned some things. Mine come indoors as soon as nights get 50 to 45. Sometimes during early fall I set them out in the day and in the garage at night. At some point I give up on warm weather and put them in a corner of my office by mid November. I shut the water off except for one or two light drinks. They lose all their leaves sitting there in very low light. Sometime usually in Mar I will notice some tiny buds breaking and give them a decent drink. We don't get warm here until mid Apr or later, so I play a delay game. Just enough water to keep things moving along slowly until they can go outside in mid May keeping in mind late frosts. Once they go out, I found as you state, they can take plenty of water. That surprised me Since they naturally live in nutrient poor soils, I have avoided fertilizing them. That is going to change. I have never pruned mine and my present two are quite leggy. I never knew how or whether the time was right. Now they are going to the butcher shop as soon as flowering is over. 45 years ago I was a plant propagator in charge of rooting 100000s of cuttings a year. It got burned into my brain then, that growing plants is to a large part about timing is everything. You just filled me in on the timing pieces I was missing that will make my wonderful Adeniums even greater. Thank you. Mine are good right now, 5" caudex and 24" tall. But they could be a lot fuller. Now I know how to get there. I might send some before and afters if things turn out right.

Thanks for your instructions, I have a few Adeniums here in central Australia. Last winter we had a couple of rare bad frosts which damaged the plants, I should have moved them inside but frosts are fairly rare here. Anyway I used a clean sharp blade and removed the damaged branches before the rot set in. Thankfully the plants are recovering nicely and hopefully will survive ok. Last summer there were a few seed pods but I lost most of the seeds when the pods opened and the seeds blew away, this year I will try and save the seeds and plant them.

Hi, I'm late in learning about proper care of these beauties! We wre gifted a small plant about 3 yrs ago. I haven't taken time to check out these pointers until now! I live in deep south Texas near the border. The plant has grown well. I had a neighbor that asked my husband if she could take a cutting from it. I learned about it after the fact, but it appears to be doing ok. Now my sister is visiting and wanting a cutting. We are mid October & weather is mostly warm yet in 90s. It is in a larger pot now, maybe more than should be? It's never been brought indoors since the pot is heavy. Is our location okay to not move it & is this weather zone suitable to do major pruning at this time or should I wait until next spring? Sorry for the length of inquiry, but would like to do it right + start more cuttings for more plants. Thanks!

I think in your area it should be ok outside all year. They can handle to 40F. I would wait to do the cuttings until spring though

your climate is perfect for them, just keep them outside all year and they'll thrive. the plant i demonstrated has got me second guessing if it was sold to me as a cutting initially instead of a seed driven plant. plants from cuttings will thicken over time but not get a totally gnarled trunk, like i was hoping for

[@dinkohrvat344]

Any vids on growing them by seed ? I have seen a multi coloured plant which was grafted Do you know how to graft different colours on the one trunk ??

[@plantvibrations]

I don’t have any videos on that unfortunately

Hi Devin! I'm just wondering about the propagation of a desert rose and how you go about that? I had a browse of your vids and I couldn't see one on this topic. This video was super helpful, thank you!
