That's good to hear. I need to find a smaller container I can store it in so I use it indoors too. The 2.5 gal one I have is just too messy to deal with for a few indoor plants.

Yes even with the pump, it could still get messy so when I have to water a lot of pots I just pour them directly to the bucket 🪣 but when I only need a small amount then I pump.

This is one of my seedgrown find from Home Depot, purchased in June 2022. This remained small and did not produce branching so I pruned it a month ago. Hoping to make it rebloom and hand pollinate.



Unfortunately the cuttings didn't survive.

I love the way the edges are colored on that one! Go go seeds!

Almost missed this, Chickie (arabicum) seed pods. This is long, see conparison. Fineline also arabicum hybrid is also this long. Both have smaller seedpods that are not yet ripe.



I still have a few more seedpods that I am waiting for them to ripen.

Finally last pod of Fire Red Heart. I rewarded her with some earthworm castings. And will give her a good dose of Agro Thrive to help her recover.

I am a fan of soaking them over night (okay I must admit sometimes it is more than overnight) I am a busy gal, and the transferring to the wet paper towel to germinate some more. This is after 4th day… I can tell which seeds are healthy or not.

@GigiAdeniumPlumeria Does this look like variegation on this baby?



These are the only 3 I have left thanks to the mice. Two of them have bite marks on them.

Anne @tomatonut95 yes! It does look variegated Must be a sibling of @Floridian's variegated.

none of my variegated survived. So hope yours will make it!

Also, you might want to remove the brown leaves on one. I hope it is not a stem rot.

Thank you for the !

I didn't get seed from Floridian, they're your seed I bought from Victory Seed.

Uh oh, well if yours didn't survive I guess mine won't either.

It would be about right that it's stem rot. We're getting too much rain so I can't control the humidity and soil mold.

You are here's Floridian's variegated Adenium probably from the same batch of seeds of my desert roses seeds she bought from Victory Seed.

after 109 days its finally ready ,also produced 109 seeds what a thing !!! short and stubby

@Jenilsongal, That's pretty impressive 109 and those are plump seeds! Definitely look viable. it is worth the wait! Now you can start your Adeniums farm. Is the momma the same as your profile photo?

Here's Chickie's seeds! long and skinny, and I am running out of space but will definitely grow a few of Chickie's addies, and the rest will be shipped to Victory Seed. Chickie has the most impressive shiny caudex in my collection:

And here is an update of Carotenia (the teeny tiny ones) and Pink Pearl's seeds.

I grew more of Carotenia because their grandma (my very first Adenium MD Addie red on white) was small. Plus the seeds were so tiny I thought they were not viable.






Both made it to the popular photo and newsletter.

@GigiAdeniumPlumeria this is the one on my profile picture,it has growing seed pods at the moment,i had pollinated 2 flowers and both took but the plant decided it was going to make only 1 pair and aborted the other one with 1cm long pods,and its now growing nicely

That is a gorgeous deep red bloom! Congratulations! Hope you get multipetals! Of my seedlings both online and from my own most bloomed single petals. I do have one that looks like it will be second multipetal but has not opened yet.

@murky I hope you got seeds of TaveeSap, she is a real beauty.

I check all the babies daily for signs of buds forming, even the ones I started in February! And yes, it is a beauty, I'd love it or even a variation of it from cross-pollinating.

Princess Gigi has 9 flowers fully open right now, only 1 more to go, but I don't think it'll open before others fall off. Four have dropped so far, so I think 9 is the limit at once for this round. Maybe that little arm growing out the side will surprise me and get buds on it!



And another I decided to upload.

Oh my goodness Nancy! Now that is amazing! I am surprised 🤯she could handle that many blooms! to you! So honored you named her after me!
