I live in S. California and we have had an unusually cold wet year and my Adenium is doing the exact same thing. I also did not know that they are poisonous. I will wear gloves from now on. Thank you for this very helpful video!

Limestone paste is that the sam as used in Thai cooking

[@mrdev5281]

can you change up the music to compliment the beauty and zen of gardening a desert rose.. and maybe bring the volume down 20% ? for example i must turn my sound bar down to 9 to listen to the music but then back up to 15 to listen to your comment thanks

[@franciscomartinez89]

Hello, I enjoy watching your videos, can you tell me, Why do the roots on my desert Roses look shriveled up and unhealthy, like they are not retaining water? What am I doing wrong?

[@kathleenmaher2051]

Jerome … where can I purchase the limestone paste you speak of in your video … thank you in advance

[@tonylovel72]

Where can I get the lime paste? I have many adenium , I would like to have it on hand

Is that really white Limestone paste-I looked up the paste and they had that for food.

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Yup that’s the one

[@NC-wl1xm]

Wow awesome. Love that you didn't even have to uproot. How would one be sure it hasn't gone down into root? I have been meaning to call you. The Desert Rose you started the Bonsai styling in April was getting brown soft spots where the wire crosses over., wish I had known about the limestone paste. I almost died when you cut back all the branches but it has beautiful shiny green leaves and nice blooms now. Not only that I have a seed pod! Where would I find the white limestone paste. I didn't see it on your website. Which one did you use in this video? Thank you for this very interesting and very informative video. What about stem rot? How do you avoid that. I have my Desert Roses in direct Sun and some stems have gotten water in them and have had to cut some tips off, Because of this I eventually put waterproof wood glue on branches you cut back because they all had little openings in the middle and I was concerned rain would get in and rot the whole plant. I don't care for how it looks with glue darker shade. Do you think it might be good idea to scrape glue end off and apply the limestone paste? Also do you leave your Desert Roses in full sun all day in our S. Florida heat? Tnx again

[@NC-wl1xm]

Wondering why my feedback didn’t get acknowledged? Didn’t mean to offend just honest feedback. I love how my Desert Rose is coming along just cince4nec about the bruising

[@hectordehesa2118]

Jerome! Always a pleasure watching the bonsai supply! I have a question about the bonsai fertilizer I bought from the site. On the directions it say to apply for every 4 inches of pot. What does that mean? 4” in diameter? Or depth? How does that translate to bonsai pots?

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hector dehesa hey Hector, thank you so much for your feedback! It applies to bonsai pots only and use 1 teaspoon for every 4inches in pot length only.

[@hectordehesa2118]

We are The Bonsai Supply awesome! Thanks so much for always taking the time to reply! This really helped. Look forward to learning more from you guys!

Hi, thanks for sharing. May I know whether the limestone paste that u are using is the same ingredient used for cooking? I checked with the nursery they have lime powder and lime sulphur. Are these the same? Thanks

Hi, I just treated my plant with the limestone paste. I have removed all the soil and will allow the plant to dry out for a week. May I know if there will be an issue if the dried limestone paste on the plant comes into contact with water after I repot? Thanks

[@dishabaishnabi0996]

My adenium caudex feels soft! I marked it today! The leaves are almost healthy except the one from the branches I had recently pruned! The leaves are small and their tips reddening. What should I do the save my plant? It would be great help!

[@plcc07777]

I use liquid bandage on adenium cuts... The same kind of liquid bandage we humans use on cuts and abrasions. Have you ever tried this method or heard of it?

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hey KY, I have never heard of it, but I will definitely give it a try. The reason why I don't use any liquid cut paste on Adeniums is because the cut can't breath and traps moisture which can rot the branches or trunk.

[@plcc07777]

@@WeareTheBonsaiSupply After the root cuts, I spray all the cuts with Daconil Fungicide and let it dry for a few minutes. Then I apply the liquid bandage over the cuts and let that dry for 5-10 minutes before repotting. The liquid bandage is an antiseptic and seals the cut.

[@plcc07777]

This method also works for propagation of adenium cuttings. I developed this method on my own as an experiment with much success. Let me know if it works for you. GOOD LUCK !!!

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

@@plcc07777 thank you 🙏🌳 I will give it a try 🙂

[@williamhsmith2675]

I have white scale like pest eggs on my D Rose leaves. I've removed many leaves, it leaves a yellow spot on the top of the leaf and the leaf dies. What can I do? Can it be treated or should I defoliate? I live in Florida. I've sprayed with Bayer 3 in 1 insecticide so far for 2 days.

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hey William, I would remove all the leaves and put them in a ziplock bag before you toss them out. Spray the tree with Bayer 3in1 as it is a systemic and then continue to spray an insecticide every 30 days.

[@mattbrennan647]

Jerome, Great tip. Do you do an initial caudex chop to obtain a radial root pattern? I’m embarrassed to tell you how many poor desert roses I’ve killed trying to bonsai them. Thanks

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Matt Brennan hey Matt, yes I do. Make sure you let the caudex dry after make that cut. Don’t be embarrassed, I have killed many myself🙂

[@alicebalzer8953]

What do I do if the tuber has rot at the roots from below?

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Take it out of the soil and hang it outdoors in a shaded area until that section is dried. Check out my crash course on Desert Roses i think you will find it very helpful. Here is the link: onlinebonsai.teachable.com/p/adeniumbootcamp

[@alaingarbaccio7990]

Please can you tell me how often should an Adenium be watered

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

alain garbaccio on our all purpose soil mix you water once a week, but when is blooming you want to water everyday :)
