Hot Weather, Desert Rose Favourite Season
Yesterday I trimmed all my large adenium plant at my home in Shah Alam. This is the best season for us to make sure that our adenium plant grow healty. If you wished to make your adenium to grow stout with large caudex and nice short branches, trim it and it about 2 weeks time you will see new leaves to sprout and giving it another week or so, more new flowers will start to bloom. Try it.
Oh yes, do not use dirty knives to trim your plant. Use clean ones, preferably those that has been disinfected with alcohol and once you trimmed it, wipe it with lime juice. Happy planting!
It is blooming season for our adenium plants in our nursery. Seeds that we planted 6 months ago start to flower. All grafted seedlings, almost 90% of the plants has started flowering as well. See below images. With our 353TE fertilizer and our specially formulated mixed soil for adenium plant has shown successes. Even our grafted seedlings has also grown in sizes. These images was taken yesterday - 6 March 2011.
Also I would like to inform all of you that we DO NOT SELL adenium seeds at the moment. Only 6 to 8 inch height seedlings is available. Thank you.
Our 2011 Adenium Hybrids is available for sale. Anyone who is keen is free to contact me at +6 017 366 2899. Currently we do not export any of these adeniums overseas (including Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak). For Singaporeans who are keen to purchase they are free to drive up to Batu Pahat (Johor) to view the nursery. Currently we do not supply the adeniums to any nurseries as we only sell our adenium plants to end users and collectors alike.
We have 8" - 10" tall seedlings, 12 inch pot (width) as well as 16 inch pot (width) of grafted adeniums obesum and adenium arabicum available for sale.
Below is an example of how to clean the plant. First remove the pot and use a hose and wash all the soil off the root. Make sure you wash it clean. Once its clean, repot it onto a pot that is slightly bigger than its caudex size. The above is a 6 years old adenium arabicum. Its stem/branch grow upwards, strong and sturdy. Once you have repotted withproper soil, give your plant a trim and it will bloom again for you.
So how often do you need to change the soil? Every 3 to 4 months change once but do not throw away your old soil. You can still reuse it by mixing it with new ones.
It has been awhile since I got posted my last write-up on Quickgrow 353TE specially formulated fertilizer for Adenium plants. One of the main reasons for my clients to purchase this amazing fertilizer is to help the plant increase its caudex size. As you can see above two images, these caudex almost reaches the side of the pot, which is 24 inch in diameter. And that is very huge. We will be offering large adenium caudex size to our clients by year end so stay tune for our official launching of Desert Rose King!

Why wait? Get yours now or you may swing by our office in Bandar Sunway to pick up a packet for your adenium to try it out!
Soon our fertilizer is available in my office in Bandar Sunway and at our nursery in Batu Pahat (Johor). Till then, happy growing Adeniums! Read more...
The Desert Rose (Adenium plant) is a perennial succulent that's native to Arabia’s semi-arid regions and eastern as well as western tropical Africa. Weird isn't it? How did it end up in Malaysia and Singapore? This is a big question that I would like to ask as my grandmother has quite a few adenium plants which she planted many many years ago.
These are shrubby-tree type plants that have fleshy, bottle-shaped trunks. The bulbous trunks can be half or completely buried in the soil. They are unusual plant specimens that have beautiful flowers, making them quite the collector's item for enthusiasts.
While desert roses are easy to grow, they don't do well outdoors if the temperatures fall below 59 degrees Fahrenheit (about 15 degrees Celcius). Because they make excellent container plants, they do quite well outside your home and greenhouses. For this reason, they are popular to use as bonsai plants but do remember though, leaving in the house without sunlight will not make the plant healthy as their leaves needs to go through photosynthesis. That is why Desert Rose is meant to be kept outdoor with plenty of sunlight.
Oh yes, speaking about adenium nicknamed "desert rose", this plant is never afraid of too much rain or too much sunlight. Remember, aeration is important for adenium and you do not need to worry that that adenium needs to be watered every day. Remember, use the correct soil mixture and your favourite plant will never be afraid of the rain. That's for sure! Read more...
The proper way of repotting the adenium was hardly taught by any nurseries that you visited. I was back to my nursery in Johor two weeks ago I took couple of shots of our adenium seedlings to show to all of you the proper way of planting adenium. If you use the "right" mixture of soil, the adenium will grow healthily and sturdy. Of course, this may not be the proper formula because there are many ways of planting the adenium. In Thailand, Indonesia and Taiwan, each country's nursery owner has their own way or formula of planting the adenium but what I am showing you here are some simple steps.
Do click on the left image for a larger view. All these 5 ingredients have the same ratio but it depends on how loose the soil that you want it to be. On the bottom right is the preparation for repotting. First put in at least 70% of coconut chips/chunks to the bottom of the pot. Then add some soil mixtures which was shown and only then place the plant above the soil and start to add in the rest of the soil mixtures to make it stand.
On the right image you will see the followings:
Step 1: add coconut chunks/chips into the pot and fill up to 70% of its base
Step 2: fill in at least 5% or 10% of the mixed soil which you prepared above on top of the coconut chunks/chips
Step 3: place the seedling into the pot and start to fill up its base with the mixed soil
Step 4: make sure the rest of the 15% or 20% of the space is filled with the mixed soil
Step 5: the seedling should stand by its own. You can press the soil down to hold the seedling together if the mixed soil is too loose. Read more...
