Repotting and pruning Adenium
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2024
- Today we will tend for the Adenium plant I purchased some time ago. I was not intending of doing anything this year, until I got more used to it. But things are never as planned.
▼▼▼More info bellow!▼▼▼
The Adenium is doing ok, but due to the string winds and flimsy pot, it fell on the floor and was rolled around my terrace, so the tip broke. For this reason I decided to prune him quite short and try to obtain a more compact shape. Remember, Adenium sap is toxic so wear gloves just to be sure!
Also I decided to repot him into a clay pot, which will keep the roots a bit cooler in the heat of the summer. I also raised him a bit to promote a thicker base (think it's called uproot) we shall see how that goes.
So far the roots look good and the new branches green. We will see how this guy will perform.

I have an Adenium and I live in South Florida in Zone 10a. The plant loves water in this climate and sun. I water it every 5 days otherwise the leaves turn yellow and drop off. From December to February I water it every 10 days. :)
I love your videos as always and look forward to watching!
Hi, I noticed that with mine too, he likes to be watered more frequent than a cactus, at least mine does. After watering more frequent he started to produce nice glossy leaves :)
I'm so glad you are doing adenium. one thing I would recommend is a little bit of cinnamon where you cut it.
Cinnamon is an old wives tale. Use a glue like Tite Bond or a fungicide like Safe.
Good video as always, and great that you mentioned the plant's potentially harmful properties.
Glad you enjoyed it :D
I have two of them that need repotting , so this video will be very useful to me when I repot them ... Thank you for sharing...
You're welcome :D

Watch Maria’s garden regarding adenium. She is an expert on this type of plant.
You should plant the top section as an experiment to see if it will grow!
Luke it a 50/50 according to how you treat the piece of plant also if the piece does grow there is the great disadvantage of not getting the massive caudix which makes this plant look awesome yet beautiful
I might plant it and see what happens, though the tip is really damaged :)
I w plenty water it after repotting. They like being stressed out so wait about 4 days depending on the size of your pot. When they are stressed they will retain water which will result in a thicker trunk and even flowers.
That soil was pretty moist. Be careful with water. Dryer the better. When in bloom water more. I use orchid mix.
Thank you for your video! The only thing missing, I think, is applying a heavy coat of cinnamon on the cut to avoid any bacteria infecting the plant. What do you think?
I think in the wild where they first thrived did not have cinnamon powder and other such powders.
I was waiting for the cinnamon. If water gets into that part of the plant it will rot
That and the fact she shouldn’t water within the first 7 days after repotting, especially with the media already being moist. That only will increase the percentage of root rot during its recovery time.
@@PapaOsmubal.OscarBalajadia yes, but they are no longer in the wild when in cultivation. So as responsible owners we have to make up for the missing things nature would provide.
Cinnamon is an old wives tale. Use a fungicide like Safe.
This was the first video I watched on your channel.🙂
Very nice! It looks very pretty. I would probably have done the same and pruned the top, because they look so much nicer shorter and fat. :)
yes I agree, I was hesitant but now I am glad I did it, it looks much better ;)
One of the coolest succulents/cactuses there is.. Did you know they also make beautiful Bonsai Trees? /Bonsai Talk
Hi Danni, just prune the damaged part off the top of the cutting. If it was rotting make sure you cut all the way down until there is only pure white stem,
no brown rot left. Don't forget which end is up though if both ends are cut lol. While it will take a long time a cutting can grown fat roots and have an interesting base also. I have a cutting a few years old planted in a shallow pot that is getting some very interesting fatter twisty roots. Good luck!
Thanks for the tips Heather I will! I think I will place the cutting in a more shallow pot and see what happens, I just let it to dry until now :)
Nice vlog dear Thanks for sharing dear
Hi Danny,
Thank for info. I also repot in clay (terracotta) pots like yours. 17 cm upper diameter but a little short and with large base. For a better stability. The only difference is in Seramis pebble dimensions. I ordered from Germany and was disappointed by quality. They shipped in ordinary plastic bags like send me their rests. Amazon UK don't ship to my place.
Have you a nice day.
Hi, where di you order from? orchitop has them in normal plastic bags yes, but that is because the normal bagged seramis is smaller. They have an exclusive product for seramis and is the one I use, the bigger granulated one.
Hi sis Dani, the cutting of the adenium stem can be planting in another flower pot, then you will get another plant. Usually I will do it like that when I cut the stem. When the stem establish it will has it bloom also.
Thanks for the tip I will pot the cut part as well :D so far I let it to dry, but it's interesting to see what will happen :D
Thanks for sharing your experience.
I got an adenium and I treated it like a succulent but all of the leaves fell off. so after I pruned it I started watering it more and treating it like a tropical plant and it grew a bunch of new stems and leaves and flowers
Hi, I did notice with mine as well that it likes more water than a cactus or succulent :) thanks for sharing!
Some do,some don't , you have to experiment with them to find a happy medium
Nice video..
I just bought my first Desert Rose. It has 1 flower and 3 buds. I'd like to plant it in a bonsai pot but is it wise to wait until all flowers are finished? I enjoy your videos very much on orchids.
How come you did not put cinnamon on the cut and then it has to stay without water so it can dry out and then you put the wood glue on it and let it dry out. you cannot eater the plant right after cutting it.
What do you do with the cutting if it is healthy can you regrow it when and how l have a branching one with long non flowering ones
hi danny, you can pot the one you just cut, the top part of the adenium:)
Agreed! Once the cut has dried it should take root quite easily and after some months produce more of those beautiful blooms. I have read that cuttings do not grow the bulbous base like your original, only seed-started Adeniums do. But more flowers is always nice, right?
Thanks I will try it, though not sure how it will look like, the tip is really damaged from the fall :(
+MissOrchidGirl, umm, it will produce new growths like the other one plus you will have two adendiums:)....... here in the philippines, we just take cuttings of adeniums and plant them.... just have patience and soon it will thrive:)
MissOrchidGirl With the tip damaged it will likely sprout several new growth buds, each becoming a branch in time. Probably give you a wide crown of blooms instead of just one cluster.
Thanks I will definitely plant it and see how it develops :D
danny, i have two terribly sick phalenopsis. one got an inside crown rot (first i notice some dots on the orchid leaf, i cut them and put cinnamon by the cut are) after two weeks the leaf fall, in the stem i had notice a dot before the leaf had fall(the newest leaf) after it fall i notice the leaf was rot on one side(the second newest) i put hydrogen peroxide every two days. for week and a half at the damaged are. three days ago two other leafs began to die the oldest and the third oldest(yellowed). i notice the second leaf was a bit curved to one side(i push it up and it wasn't attach to the stem) it was very green but out side the plant. this was the one with the rot. the orchid has only one leaf. i don't think it will survive. the damaged leaf (green)had a worm like organism that wanted to scape from hydrogen peroxide. the crown rot was only visible until the newest leaf had fall. i have a similar problem with other phalaenopsis which has a floral keiki that has been there for about month and half and hasn't produce any roots. the mother plant had a not visible crown rot with the same worm like organism. what should i do with the keiki to save it, it has no roots
Oh my sorry to hear :( I don't know what this worm like thing might be, maybe a caterpillar? I think that you really did everything you could, usually the combination between hp and cinnamon gives results, unless we are dealing with a weak individual. About hp, there is no need for so many applications, better once and then cinnamon powder inside the crown. Make sure to remove all the water after a few minutes, as hp transforms into plain water after the reaction is over. About that worm though, do you have a picture? also some pictures of the diseased orchids would help me see better what's going on. just upload a picture to photobucket, flickr, instagram, imgur or g plus and share the link in a comment here, I'll take a look :)
i sent you the fotos by instagram.@juanmateb
Hi, please paste the link here, I read comments frequent
I feel nervous about that pruner though...
Bit rusty :/
such a nice repotting video! you've got a gorgeous adenium... as a succulent, giving them more light and less water will induce more spectacular blooms... I'm just curious, you have any echeveria?? Thanks :D
Hi, no I don;t have one at the moment, but I plan on getting one :)
wow really like this video i need help in growing my desert rose
Do you place it under full sun even after pruning?
nice video
Still a nice plant that should do well.
What did you use as a dressing; pruning paint..? :)
Hi, not sure what you mean exactly? about the dressing I mean :)
+MissOrchidGirl Was wondering if you needed to use anything to dress (seal) the wound (cut) against infection. Though I have a potted Desert Rose, I never pruned it nor was even aware of the sap until you mentioned it... so I did not know if you used some form of protection after the video; like wax or pruning paint... Mine remained small even though it's 20-years-old and has been in the same pot all those years... :)
+John Benedict ORCHIDS Now I read further down the thread and realized your plant is maintained indoors... as I was under the impression from your first video that it was going to be in the garden where rain would get on the cut, but not the case here, I guess, since you said you will not get the cuf area wet.. :) If I misunderstood, please do not even bother to respond; not important. :)
Oooh ok :D no I didn't use any sealant because this plant doesn't get water on it :) it is on my terrace but it doesn't rain here almost at all in the summer so we are ok. I also water it myself with a watering can. I think some people do use a sealant, but it depends on what you know will happen to the plant water wise.
How is this plant doing now? Do you have an update video?
How do I tell a bud that has blasted from a good bud????
is it necessary to prune root-ball when repotting any plants?
hi dear... i have over sixteen adenium plants ...but some leaves is shape different and some is greener in colour...word you know the colours of each by look at the leaves....where i bay then them the person told me that they different in colour but they never flowers over five months now... thanks do look forward from you...
Hi, ow they sound lovely :D I think the trick is to give them very bright light. I am still learning about mine so I am not sure :) but we will see next season :P
Simon Smith ... are you keeping up with fertilising your desert roses Simon? They like to be fertilised every fortnight with either 5 in 1 or Powerfeed liquid fertiliser or some sort of liquid fertiliser ... It also depends on your weather (if it's dry, hot, rainy, not much sunshine and so on) ... sometimes they can take a little while to flower, but one thing to remember is not to over water them as they will get root rot. Also just by looking at a plant, you can not tell what colour it's going to be ... I've got over 270 desert rose plants and I can never tell what colour they're going to be until they flower ... I hope this helps out a little ... Cheers 🕊
Speaking of potting an irchis. I just received my Dendrobium seedling in the mail. There are two tiny leaves, a short cane and a tiny, tiny root on the plant. I need to pot it. Will use bark and moss. Should I water this more often until it establishes more roots? Should I be doing anything differently since it is a seedling? Thanks Danny!
Hi, yes I would be careful with offering water more often, actually as the medium approaches dryness. Make sure that the medium is ventilated too :) Good luck hope he will grow fast!
Thanks for the video ., can I repotting now in winter time ?, thanks x
Elin. Leanne Nicholas yes. If you let it in the house, You can.
Nice
Hello, so once you prune an adenium, you don't put any product on the cut?
Hi, I personally didn't since I know there won't be any water touching the cut, but it might be a good idea in places where it rains or where it is watered with a hose :)
MissOrchidGirl hi!, my phalaenopsis orchid's root has a light green tear drop shape growing out of it. What does it mean?
Hi, I am guessing it is a brand new root tip :) they can form branch like roots on existing roots.
ok thanks!
Let it dry out.
I have over 10 adeniums
You can rough up the fine roots don't break the caudix roots but the fine roots can break of alot doesn't matter
I prune and repot my adeniums alot and they catch back just fine as always
I only ever lost 1 plant and that is due to a bad graft which resulted in total melt down when water reached the graft spot. Whenever pruning adeniums becarful to not let water on the cut area as (very rarely) it may cause plant to melt down. This is just caution to not losing a plant
also you don't need to see fresh growth any where to prune. I prune me adeniums hybrids at that and they send out there own new growth afterwards. so off you feel to prune you can but DON'T over do it or do unless you are training your plant
my pro pic have a pic of 1 of my fave. andeniums
That media was super wet roots look brown
How is this doing today? I'm thinking about getting one and growing from seed!
Can you root the cuttin?
You should not cut flat. The pruned margin should be slanted. Must apply cinnamon powder to the exposed cut
Cinnamon is an old wives tale. It is not efficacious.
Hello Danny,
I repoted few of my Phale in a ~50/50 Hydro and seramis combination in a terracotta pot.
My place is also a mediterranean climate (Netanya Israel).
How often must water now ?
In a clear pot i had seen the drying level and roots condition.
With terracotta is not easy ;)
BTY when a complete tour of your new orchid room ? (curiozitate...masculina)
Regards,
Dino
Hi Dino, well it depends how fast it will dry for you. It should also be adapted to the orchid's needs, some like to dryout, others not so much :) for me right now they dry in about 4 days, but I have clay pots that help with that :) Well I will make a complete tour soon, but I wish things are more finished then they are now :p that's all
Como se transplanta adeniums
Hey Danny, Do you still have your Adenium? It was great seeing one of your older videos.
You should have cut the tap root.
Apnr ki akhono bia hoy nai???
Na hoila Ami aci..🌚🌚
Never use a rusty cutter.
Buen vídeo un saludo Francis de GeckoBONSAI desde las Islas Canarias. Suscríbete al canal gracias...
him,he...really ?
How do you know your adenium is a guy
Hi, plants don't have genders, unless they make unisexuate flowers, but I call them he or she due to my native language which has no it for anything non human :)
