we came from here The thread "Adeniums-thread #1" in Adeniums forum gone2seed hope this is ok!!!!

is any one doing an experiment on replanting i herd talk about raising the plants and i herd burring the plant deeper i have a few i can do experiment with. here is the size i would start with or a seedling



i have read i should cut all hair roots off and most branches and let heal for 2 months?

what does everyone think

mike

Raise them every time you repot. And yes, cut the hair roots that are going to be above the ground.
I don't let them heal for 2 months though, more like a few days!

that is what i thought but so many say different ways. got to figure out who to trust and see what works for you i guess (but your advicee has NEVER let me down) BTW the bulbs shipped to day! the plants due in miami on the 12 and overnight to me then the fun begins.

I had the procedure to blast my kidney stones today and im glad i have painkillers!!!! im going to be gross.....peeing blood is not the most fun thing to do!

I have some shaped like bottles. I'll try to get you pictures.I love the wierd little shapes..

TMI No I'm glad you have painkillers too. Actually - not that this compares - but I'm glad for painkillers too, been weeding too much and my old hands can't take that any more!!

These are some I grew from seeds.

i love to try new things so im trying to root 2 stems i figure if it works i know people would rather have flowers. Hetty have you ever pollinated plumeria? if so how did you do it? Im trying both plumeria, and adenium Im going to try to take and do multiple stem adenium with different color flowers grafting.

my sister wants one like that told her it will take few years but i think i can do it.

Hetty want to know just how many painkillers i took with out eating.........i started thinking about what i can do for a co-op next Im glad my partner doesn't read this!!! I thought for Christmas i could do another spinner co-op.

I have casually poked at my plumeria flowers with a pine needle, if you call that pollinating LOL

i have been pokine at them with twist tie but no lock. ok no sleep so got a question i know dont take cuttings now!!!!!! but look ta this






there are leaves on the flower stalks

how do i know when the seed pot it mature on the adeniums?

Mike, that is cool about the leaves on the inflo. It does occasionally happen. It will eventually turn into a branch!
The seedpods on Plumeria and Adeniums both with start to get a marked line through the center just before it starts to split open. Best is to tape it shut or put a baggie or rubber band over it, so as not let the seeds fly away. Check them regularly when the time comes for the seedpods to mature. In Plumeria - the pods take 9 months! So seedpods from this year will hang on through the winter and mature in spring.

how long does seed pods on adeniums to ripen? about the same? got them all protected. do you know that confederate Jasmin plants have the same of type of looking pods

It will take about 4-5 months I think. Some people just wrap them gently with some garden tape or wire to prevent them splitting open and the seeds blowing away.
The Trachelospermum jasminoides (Confederate Jasmine) is in the Apocynaceae family as well, so that is why the seedpods are so alike.

i bought some pantyhose there not my size so in using them put a bag on them. hope the open soon i want to plant some more seeds. I was not the smartest person and bought a pack of plumeria seeds 15 of them and so far 2 have sprouted.HETTY DONT GO THERE I KNOW I KNOW FCN FOR SEEDS. The weird thing is they have 2 sets of leaves and the second set on one of them have white leaves i cant wait to see the next set are,

there is so much of difference in the seeds of adenium they are also getting 2 sets of leaves some are real fat and some tall and skinny.

Mike.... just get in touch with me the next time you want plumeria seeds!

This is such interesting reading. I thought I had lost you guys when the new thread was started.

Sylvain.

Hetty i told you not to say it i know better

going to back surgeon tomorrow wish me luck I am working on packing slips for co-op everyone that are getting plants as gifts do you want the leaves cut off and do you want the roots protected with wet towels??

talk to you all later


mike

Good luck with your appointment today Mike!!

Mike,it is better to have no leaves and the roots not protected.I would be surprised if your supplier has not already stripped the leaves before shipment.Any I have received have always been bare and all have lived and thrived,soon putting on new leaves.
Now, that said,we will be getting these plants very late in the year so resist the temptation to over water them when you pot them up.My system is to put the bare plants into a bucket of water and let them soak up some water for about an hour and then pot in slightly damp soil.Keep them on the dry side and as warm as you can until they get new leaves.

JT, did you see my little Bottle shaped DR's? Those are ones I grew from seeds...
