Question: Do you have the 10-30-20 fertilizer at Adeniumrose Company
We use a time release 8-9 month formula yearlong for the adenium plants and use 10-30-20 liquid soluble when we want to induce blooms. the time released used as our adenium fertilizer (solid pellets the releases nutrients over a period of time) controls the release of nutrients of a period of 3 months and its is the perfect all around low nitrogen fertilizer for adeniums and in the future we will offer the water soluble to induce blooming.
When you want desert rose plants to bloom in Spring you want to use a liquid adenium fertilizer BEFORE THEY HAVE BUDS (around January/Feb in your area). Use a mix like Dyna-Gro Bloom starting 1 month before the adenium plants comes out of dormancy and continue it until you see either small buds growing or until you see 4..5 new leaves on the desert rose plant.
Can you explain how bonsai works and how to start, or send images would love to try it on my desert rose.
That a whole book. Basically you use thick bendable wire aluminum (not copper) to shape the branches into a form that is pleasing to you. When doing adeniums you must keep the wire more loose than traditional bonsai plants. One of he best looking forms for an adenium is a canopy shape. It takes time but over a couple years a bonsai adenium desert rose plant look fantastic and produce tons of flowers.
