Plant tag says "Adenium Arabicum RCN, PNW "Sabi Star" or "Black Giant"", so I'm not sure what cultivar this actually is. The caudex isn't dark, and it is tall, which go against what a "Black Giant" would typically look like. Is there any way to tell what cultivar this is before it flowers, or should I just wait?
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 🥹🌱
Not looking too bad for a $10 clearance plant a couple of months ago
Root over rock desert rose finally bloomed. Send her good vibes guys, shes doing her best. Once the blooms go away im gonna have to break this pot and looks at the roots, make sure shes all good. Then put her in a new pot; Ill lift her up toexpose a little more root and rock, maybe an inch. I really want this experiment to last years .
hi! i recently acquired this root trained adenium arabicum, it came bare root. i do already have some adeniums but they’re not root trained like this one.
i’m sorry if these are dumb questions, i just don’t want to mess things up.
should i be continuing to root train? i won’t be doing any pruning now. im sure its going to go through some shock from being shipped and then potted.
i’m sorry if this question doesn’t make sense, i’m not quite sure how to word it.
i’m just confused on how much of the roots get buried and how much of it is left on the surface for aesthetics? am i just supposed to put it on a mound of substrate or a rock to show off the roots?
the roots come basically straight down like legs i guess lol. so i think the only way to show them off would be to have it on a mound so that the roots come down around the sides of the mound and then the bottomish half get buried. is that correct?
hopefully that made sense 😭 i can clarify if needed but appreciate any tips or advice! ty
This one had root. I cut off the whole root system. Eventually it developed new roots. It takes time an patience.
My desert rose is sprouting several seed pods… what would be the best way ( at this stage) to prevent the seeds from blowing into the wind once the pod matures?
So I’ve been looking around for live plants, and I’m seeing a lot of really lovely ones, but I worry about the legitimacy of the shops and listings. Like they’ll have lots of exotic colors that are supposedly real- blue, purple, red-black, black-white, etc- along with the more common ones, so I lean towards them being legit, but I’m just not sure and would love to get some opinions and/or advice.
Thought it was a sprout but instead she dropped flowers? Wtf
This fella has been with me for 8 years. He's really fat now lol.

Bombay Moonstone (singlet) just because it’s pretty
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.
I haven’t been watering for 3weeks because of a repot when I last watered I started to notice the codex getting soft and wrinkly
Hello new owner to Desert Rose unsure of type but wanted to verify this is a seed pod? Also, if so what’s the process for planting seeds. I didn’t notice this when I bought my plant 3 weeks ago so kind of shocked by only noticing now.
“He” hasn’t grown much, never have seen a flower, grows 2-3 leafs a year and that’s about it. Decided to repot him today, I know the pot is pretty big and will make sure to only water at the base of the plant. Is this just how he is?
