Maybe he will tell us how to root them. That would be great.
I may go ahead and send mine out but they are so small yet.
I worry when I send things out.

Pack them so they won't get bruised, and not in plastic, like bubble wrap, that'll make them rot.

When they arrive, I'd suggest a FIVE MINUTE, not longer, soak in Superthrive water. Doesn't need to be real strong, the Superthrive. I dip a straw in the bottle to get just a drop or two.

DRs are sponge plants. They don't know when to stop drinking, and they make piggies of themselves, and their cells burst, and they die of rot.

Isn't it a thrill to receive plants from Wilfred!

OK, have fun,

Oh, Doris, you might reconsider the pretty green pot, once it's time to repot, you'll have to break the pot to get the roots out.

I transplanted my babies yesterday, I could not believe the
length(of the roots) on a couple of the babies. The roots were growing very good.

Melissa it is in a plastic cup that I can just take out when it gets a little bigger.

Charleen the roots on the larger ones are longer than the plant, I sure was surprised as I thought the roots were short.

Oh my goodness they are so cute. What kind of potting mix do you use for Adenium? When Violet and her siblings come I want to be sure they have the right stuff here waiting for them. I am so excited. Do they lose their leaves from shipping? I know for some plants that's not unusual.

You want me to send them now, or let them get a little larger? I repotted them. Violet is the baby and is so tiny. I thought I would wait.
Just let me know, cause they are yours.

I'm leaving that up to their birth mother. You would be the one that knows when they will be ready.

I'll keep you up-dated. Maybe another month. I planted mine in a mix of
orchidmix/cacti mix is what i'm using. Hope they love it and grow.

Charleen you better say who they are for or all of us will be sendingyou instructions

I plant mine in cactus mix.

Doris

ME, me.
I am the soon to be mother of my first ever Adenium. I am preparing the layette as I type.

I'm sending Lynn three little Desert roses. She asked for them before they were very old and even as babies they are so cute. I got them in their own little pot. These are for Lynn, She doesn't have any. Now she got them, guess I'm hold em for ransom I just want them to get a wee bit taller.
Here's Your babies, Lynn.

In return for turning over your Adenium babies I am sending you a rock. You will have to decide which kind of rock you want. Petrified wood, obsidian, quartz, jasper, the list goes on.

Wait til you get the plants. Iwas thinking that this morning.
I have some out on the back porch with moss and I know you will like it.

Potting mix--- drain, drain drain. I am beginning to think I'll go get gravel to plant mine in so that I won't drown them!

Got it, 'DRAIN'. Maybe use Al's potting recipe with some extra bark and course sand thrown in?

Probably work. I always get a little scared when I transplant so I keep them on the dry side to be sure.

I water on one side. Then a few days later, I water on the other side. Seems to work so far(after a week, just thought this up!)

That may be safer, huh?

I figure if one side is soaked, and the other side/half dry, then the plant can get a good drink, and the water can migrate to the whole pot, and the air can flow around and the roots won't drown.

Make sense? We're talking about an artificial environment, a plant confined in a pot. I'm doing this with all my container plants now.

I thought I knew how to grow stuff until lately, when I've drowned so many plants! Basil, coleus, DRs and others.
