Yes,brugs take a lot of fertilizer and water.Considering that inground plants can grow to very large shrubs in one season,it's no wonder.Ours,in big pots,have to be watered daily.
Mellisa I didn't order seeds from the second sight I ordered plants two of them and they are doing good I also got a staghorn fern from the sight in Florida he might be a little pricy but they were delivered in great condition.
G2S did I read right you soak your adenium seeds before you plant them? I get mold if I water slightly to much I have tried several different soils I don't know what my problem is, soaking them is the only thing I havn't tried. I won't try it unless you say you have had good luck I'll go back and reread the other thread again....Thanks Ron

LOL, the Great Adenium Plant In The Sky is laughing at all the difficulties we're having, hey? Sad that we, in our ill efforts, are killing so durn many seeds and seedlings! Erghhhh.
I have some that I'm trying to root the tops after rotting the bottoms. sigh!
I wouldn't soak these fickle seeds for more than an hour. Or maybe a half hour. Sponge plants!
Rucky,yes,I soak my seed for 4-8 hours.I have forgotten and left them overnight and they were too mushy to plant.I feel that I get better germination with a good soak.I plant about 3/8 inch deep and soak the potting mix.After that I let them almost dry out before watering again.Never let the mix go completely dry until the seed have sprouted.
I finaly got in, hellow to every one here, we be checky this sit tomarrow, have to go to work right now. BTW, does anyone know how to make the letter a little bigger, I have problems seeing these small letters.

Internet Explorer, . Look down in the bottom right corner and see if there is a tiny little 100%, or another number with % after it. Click that, and choose a larger %.
Melissa, I'm pretty sure that moss has no nutritional value, at least according to my instructions for my Pitcher Plant. Now that we have the Jedi Master here we will find out huh?

Re: spagnum, I'm looking for drainage! and air. I can add nutrition. I doubt anyone has used the stuff for DRs. And it's expensive.
How are you doing, JT? I am very happy to know you, even only through this internet thing. I am impressed that you get such a great germination rate, and you grow these buggery little plants so quickly from seed. And do you ship to the Virgin Islands?

Oh, Wonderful. Wilfred, we have missed you so much.

Wilfred, sure is good to see you here, if you are in Explora go to top of page where it says View
click on it and about half way down it says Text Size,click on that and make the text extra large.
Melissa,I'm doing well.It is a busy time of year for me so I only get on a couple of times a day.As for shipping to the Virgin Islands,I just don't know.If countries don't have a policy, carved in stone,a package can sometimes get through.I can ship to several of the US territories and islands but in your case,who knows.
