r/Pachypodium

The weather can be pretty gloomy where I am and this is my first time putting my pachy outside. Would love to hear from more experienced people. Also advice about the adenium obesum is welcome too, I do not know how much gloomy weather they can take either. Attached is a pic of the weather forecast (top fahrenheit bottom celcius, it's the same thing)

After yesterdays post I thought I'd share some pictures of the other gracilius from the same batch of seed as the fat round one. I've kept the best 18 from the small batch of seed I sowed, particularly ones that had no offsets and were either nice and round or growing tall and fast, and these are representative of the variety within that group. All these plants are the same age and from the same two parents (last pic, aged 8 and 15 years), the differences are down to genetics and pot size/material.

It used to be a runt, but a few years in the small terracotta pot sorted that out.

My newly bought rosulatum is dropping it’s lower leaves. I repotted and didn’t water it since the 5 days I have it. Is it just a stress reaction from shipping and repotting? the caudex feels a little squishy but I don’t think its root rot because I didn’t notice anything when repotting. should I water it slightly?
thanks for helping out

Picked out the largest 18 from the batch of densiflorums from Walmart back in March and moved up to 6 inch pots. Wanted to give them an inch deeper organic material and also 2 inches on the diameter to allow roots to expand and fresh fertilizer. Here are pics details in posted order
1 - 4 inch very well established pachy’s densiflorum
2 - thin knife blade stuck down along several edges of pot to loosen roots from terracotta pot
3 - plant easily pulled up gently by pulling on a few leaves. Notice roots undisturbed
4 - new 6 inch terracotta pot filled about a third with pea gravel
5 - added 1 inch layer of my pachy mix
6 - placed plant in center and filled in all way around
7 - packed media down with finger all around
8 - added 2 teaspoons of Florian nutricote 180 day formula
9 - added a thin layer of decomposed granite aka chicken scratch to keep top from washing away
10 - my pachY mix contains coir, fir bark fines, perlite, coarse sand, 30/30/30/10 pct roughly
11. - florikan nutricote pellets is a controlled release fertilizer that I also use on
my orchids
12 - pea gravel from Lowe’s, rinsed
13 - decomposed granite aka chicken scratch
14 - finished product, this repotting g gives plants more room to expand and a bit more organic material to feed roots for the next 4 months before it’s time to move them into greenhouse

I walked into my local Lowe's over the weekend and got lucky. They had about 9 of them and I took 5 home with me. They all seem to be well rooted.

Just wondering what is wrong with my pachypodium :(

Has been like this for a bit but getting worse, mostly on one side. Got it off a friend two years ago.

South east queensland, Australia.

Thanks for any help.

Had our lil guy for maybe two years, he dropped all his leaves in the first few months we had him and ever since he's tried to pop out new ones and each time they get this brown fluid, turn brown and shrivel up. We've repotted him into a well draining mix, let the soul dry out between waterings, and put him in the sunniest window. He just popped out these baby leaves a few days ago and the brown thing is happening again. Tips and advice much appreciated!!

Been waiting a minute for this thing to do something. In the PNW and I just dont think I can give it the right conditions.

I don’t think I’ve overwatered it, I also havnt underwatered. The black part is not crispy

Lamerei, from a new local to me plant shop. Been growing inside under a grow light, so plan to continue that through spring instead of throwing it out in Texas’ August heat. Any tips? It seemed recently watered, still moist soil, and it’s in a cactus mix.

I had potted this lamerei in dry mineral mix for about a month and checked it and it was still rotting so I cut it back. Wondering if I still need to cut more, thank you 🙏
