3-in-1 adenium plant update and Dyna-Gro K-L-N

Update on 3-in-1’s and additional jumbo adenium plants. Hopefully we will release more desert rose plants on Sunday or late Monday. About ten to twelve 3-in-1’s extra large and 3..6 more jumbos should be ready. This is be the last release of 3-in-1 and jumbos for several months.

The 3-in-1 adenium plants are all grafted with 3 different hybrid flower types.  The current plants growing by AdeniumRose Company in S. Florida have red, red-violet, pink, pink with red stripe, very dark red, white, and other colors. There are several with no color labels. In the past some desert rose plants received had yellow and yellow variations but we have not seen yellow on the current desert rose 3-in-1 plants. All of the adenium plants were grafted in Thailand. Once the desert rose plant arrives and passes USDA inspection we drip them for 30 minutes in Dyna-Gro K-L-N solution before potting. K-L-N is a rooting hormone solutions with important micro-minerals. It’s used whenever we plant any cactus, succulent or other plant. Once the plant is potted we do not water it for3 days to give roots time to heal and absorb the Dyna-Gro K-L-N nutrients.

After the desert rose plants are outside/potted for two weeks AdeniumRose Company starts to use Dyna-Gro Grow liquid fertilizer on the adenium plant. We do not use time released fertilizer until the adenium plants have been growing at our facility for 3 months.

  1. Can I soak the roots in PROTEXT prior to planting or does it have to be the KLN? I received my 3 n 1 two days ago it has 4 grafts on it! YEAH. The caudex is beautiful. How can I find out the age of the plant? Local tropical plant nursery man told me to mix in potting soil & sand. I don’t think that’s right. I hv coconut coir & going to get cactus/succulent soil. today. We are hving 115 temps in AZ this week so I think it will be kept indoors for a while.

    1. Your nursery man is wrong. Do not use potting soil it contains too much peat and organic material. Potting soil tends to get hard and prevent water / air flow over time. Use cactus mix and then add 50% more perlite not more coir. Cactus soil purchased from stores already have a wetting agent and adding coir will just keep the soil wet longer which is not what you want for adenium plants.
