I have no problem with folks smoking. I'm just happy that I never got started.
Adeniums from Arabia, arabicum, have larger caudexes and do like to go dormant. obseums, from central Africa above the Congo Jungle lattitude are what we mostly have, and don't need to go dormant. But there are arabicum/obseum crosses that either do or don't go dormant. Just water less and let the plant decide. Then along about March, start watering more, and feeding. We need an Adenium sprcific fertilizer!!
I have several plants that are grafted onto arabicum rootstock, and I don't like the influence at all!! Less flowering, and smallet top growth, it seems. I MUS learn grafting!! I feel so sure of what I am doing, then the graft rots after a week or two. Owell, someday... I keep trying!
