This Adenium finally has it's first bloom on it, plus lots of other buds. I had previously accidentally knocked off another bloom.
The leaves are getting more and more brown. I'm thinking it's due to my hard water at both of our places.
The bloom seems a bit faded out to me. I remember it being much brighter. Maybe the LED light is too bright for it and fading it out? I think I'll remove it from the light to see how it does. I think the bright window light should be fine to keep it blooming from now out.

I have my other little Adenium I purchased at Home Depot. It was long and leggy and I cut it way back, both branches and roots, and now it's looking better. It also shows the browning on the leaves which probably is due to my hard water. I'll have to try to flush out the salts and give them better water.
