I jumped on this today, wanting to expand my collection, and now I'm worried it was mislabeled. Thoughts?

Tag says "Adenium Arabicum RCN, PNW "Sabi Star" or "Black Giant"', and it's about 12" tall - I'm not sure if this was just heavily pruned and possibly etiolated, or if this isn't actually an arabicum since they tend to grow shorter and stockier. What do y'all think?

The first leaf! Is the color right?

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 🥹🌱

New purchase

No idea what the flowers gonna look like on this one as I can’t find any pics for the hybrid ‘Karla’, should be a fun surprise. Can’t wait to get it home and potted up. Purchased at Arid Lands in Tucson.

The little adenium seedling that could

One of a batch of 20 seedlings from an open pollinated flower on a multi petaled grafted adenium from last years spring. Several other have already bloomed but none have had a flower near this size. The pod has produced a mix of single and multi petaled plants. The plants are not fast growers as most adenium but it has been fun watching them grow.
It is in a 4 inch plastic pot

Adenium struggling to grow leaves after dormancy

One of my Adenium seems to be struggling with starting to grow new leaves after a period of dormancy. Small new leaves pop up but seem to die off while still very small. I'm suspecting something like mites given how the tips of the branches look, but I might be wrong, not a lot of experience with Adenium yet. The plant is firm and roots look good, so otherwise seems healthy. Can anyone help me with a diagnosis and how to proceed?

Help with Adenium: Cupping leaves

My Adenium's leaves are experiencing cupping and curling. It was infested with spider mites a few weeks ago, which I believe I controlled using a Castile soap spray. After shedding its leaves, the new growth emerged deformed like this. What is the issue?

It is placed under a grow light, and the Photone app shows a reading of 750-800. Controlling spider mites on houseplants is very difficult.

My little seedlings are doing well

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. 🌸

Trimming adenium obesium

Have a desert rose that is ~a few years old now. I had previously just been trying to nurse it back to health, but now it has some good healthy growth and has shot up a good several inches in the last few months or so, so considering a trim (and propagation?).

Wondering where I should trim at. My thought is near my fingers here, or slightly above, as I still want it a little taller than fat.

Would appreciate any recommendations or wisdom. I’ve been watching some videos on their care, but still not confident enough to take the clippers to it with such great foliage up top now.
