Fertilizing adenium, desert rose plants (common name)

Fertilizing adenium will produce larger plants and more frequent flowering. Established adeniums do not need much care.  In fact, many people never fertilize their adeniums and they grow ok. However, if you use 7-7-7 time released fertilizer you will enjoy faster growing plants and more flowers. If you need flower boosting then use Dyna-Gro bloom once a month starting in late winter until you see the first bid.

AdeniumRose Company uses a time released 7-7-7 with great results in South Florida. When fertilizing adenium for blooms in southeast Florida we start in early February (about 1 month before flowering time). Do not fertilize when flowering because it may cause the flower to drop.  The advantage of time release is that it last 3 months or more depending upon your brand. Just remember do not fertilize during dormancy of plant or during flowering periods.

AdeniumRose Company Hybrid Plants

Adenium hybrids plants are specially grown plants that produce unusual flowers and plant forms not usually found in nature. Adeniums in nature consist of shades of pink flowers, pink with white and slight variations. Growers cross pollinate different flowers to create new flower colors, shapes and sizes.  Current adenium (desert rose plants) hybrids come in many different colors, sizes, shapes and with interesting patterns (stripes, dots, etc). You do not see the hybrids in regular stores due to their higher costs as they are not massed produced.
