Q: The Desert Rose Winter dormancy in NY. I am interested in purchasing a adenium 3-in-1 type from AdeniumRose Company / ExoticGrower. I have 2 planters that are 3 feet tall. My thought was to put one on each side of my front door on the porch which gets direct sun. I would like to purchase 2 before they sell. But I would not want them delivered until June as I live in New York.
How long will you hold a plant. Also what type of soil should I purchase?
A: The planter is very tall for the 5″ wide for a desert rose 3-in-1 plants. They average 10″ inches tall which would do great in 8″ wide pots about 8″ to 12″ deep. If you use a 3′ tall pots then fill in the bottom with rocks (2 feet). Cover the rocks with a cloth to prevent the soil from sinking down into the rocks. Finally, plant the desert rose plant using proper soil.
Just received many extra large (caudex 5..6 inches across caudex with an average height 14″) and jumbo plants (caudex 7 to 10 inches across caudex with an heights 18″ to 26″ tall we will be released in March (not 3-in-1’s).
ExoticGrower hold plants up to 45 days not 4 months because it’s very busy starting this month and would be very easy to lose plants kept too long.
Desert Rose Winter Dormancy Varies
There are many articles on soil to use on this blog. Use the search area and put in soil. yes, AdeniumRose Company / ExoticGrower does offer soil for adeniums and other type of succulents/cactus plants.
During desert rose winter dormancy period if you have a warn location with some sunlight inside then the plant will survive until spring. Adenium plants are in dormancy during this time of year. I some areas dormancy means complete leaf lose and in others just no growth. Many collectors use grow lights to keep the adeniums growing during the winter months.
The AdeniumRose Company growing area in southeast Florida allows year round growing of adeniums with minimal dormancy. This is not true for all plants grown such as plumerias which lose 100% of their leaves from December through late April.
