Questions: How can you be certain that the adenium seeds will produce lowers like the parent of a hybrid plant?
The problem with hybrid adenium desert rose seeds is that only a small percentage actually flowers like the parent plant. It’s not like annuals flower seeds or vegetables you buy at Walmart, Home Depot, Loews, etc. stores (get what’s on the image). Adeniums hybrid seeds are from grafted plants that after several years of growing (usually 5…7 years) they produce seed pods.
However, since the grafts where place on adenium plants that are not hybrid the seeds only produce a few plants like the graft and the rest different in some way. Many collectors are used to buying from eBay expecting the adenium seeds to produce flowers like they seen in the sales image but rarely do. It takes 2…3 years for adeniums from seeds to flower so by them the buyer usually forgets what they saw on Ebay and it too late to give correct feedback. In the future Adeniumrose company will offer seeds; however, they will be honest and put up a notice that the adenium seeds are form the Hybrid plants; however, they may be true to the hybrid flower when they bloom.
Special note: Epic Grower Company just received 5,000 seeds (5 different supplies from Thailand) and will be offering adenium seedlings next Spring 2015. We are using a new growing method to grow the caudex faster on the adeniums plants and will post updates in the future. All the seeds received are supposed to be from double/triple/quad rosy adenium plants but only time will tell.
Can an adenium develop dry root rot. I recently lost two plants both planted in well draining soil and pots. I live Sebastian Florida and have never had this problem.
No but root sometimes takes time for you to notice. I may have started a couple months ago from inside the plant and then progress outwards. The only time I saw a dry rot was due to insects (ants) creating a nest in the pot causes the roots to turn brown and die. Were the plants young? Sometimes in seedlings your get something that looks like rot root but its just malnutrition (Not getting the right micro-nutrients) .
The plant were young two years old. I have been using dyna-gro products.
Not too sure beyond the last reply. Some plants just do not make it for no apparent reason. Sorry
