I’m all new to Adeniums, so I’m not sure if I did something wrong here - is a new babyleaf supposed to be this red-ish color? I just want to make sure to take proper care of my seedlings, so I rather ask a stupid question than regretting not to have asked 🥹🌱
Some are a little “long”, but I feel they do well in general. They don’t look too leggy so at this point I’m not concerned. Just wanted to share my happyness and show you my lil baby adeniums. 🌸
Hello everyone!
I started my first Adenium Journey seven days ago. I grow them from seed, and got 7 out of 8 seeds to germinate, which I’m very graterful for - chances are that at least SOME of them are going to survive, hopefully! 😂
They are in 1:1 cactus soil and vermiculite and I plan on trying to grow some of them as Bonsais.
Can ya’ll help me out and give me your best advice on how to care for the seedlings?
- when do I do the first repot?
- is the soil fine, can I keep using the cactus soil & vermiculite mix?
- when repotting, do I repot them deeper or do I lift them a little?? Google gave me both informations as advice so I’m confused.
- should I take the lid off the tiny greenhouse, now they germinated? I actually remove the lid in daytime, simply because where in the middle of a heatwave and I’m not going to risk cooking them. 🫠
I’m not new to plants, but as they are my first Adeniums, I’d love some input from experienced people 💚
