Adenium arabicum plants grown seed produce the most amazing shapes of caudex. AdeniumRose Company has finally found a reliable source for true arabicon seeds that show the right form, leaf color and trunk. Last year we tested several sources and one company stood out from the rest in the germination percentage from seed, strength of the seedling and growth of plants form their seeds.
Adenium arabicums plant grows a squat fat form caudex with many branches growing from the caudex. The fat caudex and many branches gives little differentiation between trunk and branches. The leaves are shiny on the upper and lower surface, unlike Adenium obesum. The skin on the plant is has a more purple to dark brown coloration. The pink to deep red number in hundreds on a mature arabicum, flowering succulent, plant due to their many branches coming up from the caudex.
Also, unlike adenium obesums, the adenium arabicum plant makes a perfect base for a true canopy adenium bonsai form. Yes, you can grow a canopy form using adenium obesums but its a bit more difficult to get a full canopy with a plant with on main trunk. In the image of the adenium arabicum plant you will notice its hard to determine where the caudex ends and trunk begins. As the plant grows the caudex get a bit taller so the many branches coming out of the caudex create a canopy that you wire outwards.
Presently, Epic Grower Company is growing adenium arabicums plants from seed and they should be available by next summer as 1 to 1.5 yr old adenium plants. These are true collector plants and grow for their shape verse the flower type. These are the adeniums you would see in a show that produces hundred of flowers per plant with bases of over 4..5 wide with a canopy of over 5..7 feet around.
