Jojoe, No big deal, just look at your plants and get to know them. Not a glance as you go by on your way someplace.

The Adeniums we grow are not far from wild plants, having been bred for only about twenty years now. Most of them, obbesum, grow in a long band, area, south of the Sahara desert in Africa, and north of the Congo Jungle, all the way from east to west Africa. They are accustomed to a dry season, and a rainy season. They never experience temperatures below 60.

BUT some other kinds of Adeniums also live in South Africa, and Somalia, and Saudi Arabia, and Oman, and a few other places. If they were dogs, they would be a different breed for each place, like, poodles here, , pugs there, , german shepards someplace else, People have collected them from the wild, and crossed them, so now most of the plants are very mixed breed.

SO, you must watch each plant you have and leard its' likes and dislikes. I would say you are doing quite well! Watch the larger pods, and you will see a slight change in color towards ripening. Browner or something.

Read other posts in this discussion group, lots of info.

OK, cheers, and remember, NO THUMBS, NO ACORNS!
