Radial Roots Through Surgical Operation on Thai Soco Adenium

The video shows how radial roots are grown through surgical operation on a thai soco adenium. The operation is to cut the tap root of the adenium plant and to dry it in shade for some days and then repot the plant covering the bottom of the plant to restrict the vertical roots to grow. Desert rose has a natural bonsai like look. In addition to this if the main root is cut and the plant is hanging in shade for some days, radial roots will grow and the caudex will become thick .And the plant will become a perfect bonsai with massive caudex and radial roots. In the present project I have cut the branches because I want to increase the number of branches. And the more branches the plant has the more flowers it produces. I think this method is going to reward my garden a living master piece.

Your videos are incredible. What is the purpose for encouraging radial taproots? For a shallow pot? What advantages do they give the plant? What do you do with the taproot that you remove?

[@dotbasecamp]

Thanks.
Radial roots along with massive caudex gives the plant a beautiful look, look of a perfect bonsai.
Shallow pot encourages the radial roots grow horizontally ..
The cut tap root goes to the dust bin. It has no use.

Do you discard the bottom half of the tap root, or can it sprout some leaves and make a new plant? Thank you for your excellent video, very informative.

[@dotbasecamp]

No, it`s of no use.

[@seiyuokamihimura5082]

Woah. Only way i could use something that coarse would be if i lived somewhere in the hard north. I have to use something richer, and more water retentive than that. If i only grew indoors that soil would work.

What is the proper time of year to do this? I’m guessing in the fall right before the plant goes dormant but I’m not sure. Your videos are great. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@dotbasecamp]

After dormancy is over. Spring is the best time.

What is the blue-green powder that sweeps into the tree? Is it lime?

[@dotbasecamp]

No, it`s SAAF, the fungicide.

[@normasiqueira1066]

It`s SAAF (Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63%)
Just sprinkle water to keep the soil moist. Apply full water when new shoots come out.

[@shaanmail8094]

what did you do with the root part that you cut...can we put Saaf powder and repot that again?

[@dotbasecamp]

The root is of no use. It goes to the dust bin. I will start an experiment with the root portion in Feb-March.

[@rushee26]

Hi what did you do to the “root part” did you repot it thank you

[@dotbasecamp]

No. Though I have a plan to experiment on it in future.

[@zaidsharif2]

Thank you sir for the video, methods are simple and easy to follow. I have seen your 2-3 videos, you always hang plant for 5-10 days. Please guide what's the logic behind it?

[@dotbasecamp]

1. Drying for some days helps healing the wounds caused by cutting / pruning and reduces the chance of rotting. 2. Drying means to make the plant undergo a period of fasting / a drought like situation.So when the plant is repotted and it becomes active , it begins to store water and nutrient in its storage organ ( i.e. caudex ) to face another future period fasting period / drought like situation. As a result the caudex grows fat.

[@zaidsharif2]

Thanks Sir for detailed answer.

[@sauravips]

I wanted to understand that why do we hang the adenium plant for some days? What is the reason behind it? Please tell sir

[@biimanmandal6767]

The trunk is very beautifully grown. How old the mother plant is?

[@dotbasecamp]

May be 1.5-2 years.

[@gloriagilpatrick6499]

What brand of fungi do you use for the plant's?

[@joinedventure6212]

No wonder a good looking big Adenium plants with aerial roots are way expensive. Cause the horticulturist take risks for the life of their plants and too much hard work and caring. 💚

[@patwatson6337]

You have to put in the hard work and care to get the beauty of the plant always more to learn

[@rafaelaaltagraciaokafor-mb9337]

After you do the circular bottom can you water the desert roses

[@dotbasecamp]

No, I use moist medium and sprinkle water to keep it moist and apply water when new shoots appear.

[@1nareshsudha]

I am bit scared of keeping adenium in air (shade) for 10-12days. In the month of April’22 I had tried same with my 15yrs adenium and unfortunately it died.
Is there some indication to check for so that it does not over dry?
Appreciate your kind guidance.

hi sir, im a follower of yours. what age of adenium is the best to root train or to grow radial roots??
i hope you can see this. thank you sir, more power!!

You can do it on a 90 days seedling. Still I follow a rule i.e. after completing a life cycle ( 1st potting - growth - flower - dormancy ).
