Question by a client: will you have blooming desert rose plants this summer to offer?
Answer: All the adenium plants offered by AdeniumRose Company except for the seedlings are mature blooming size plants. Here is South Florida we are already getting some desert rose blooms and it’s only February. Many of our customers are purchasing adenium plants now so they will bloom by summer. All the desert rose plants are shipped bare root and with few leaves (to help prevent shock) so they will need time to recover. We recommend that you soak them dyna-gro in k-l-n before planting to give them a boost. Then in late March add time released fertilizer unless they start budding and then wait until after they flower or use Dyna-Grow. Many times adeniums will flower before leafing out.
We tested this against other rooting compound on half of our last order of adeniums from Thailand and now we switch to Dyan-Gro K-L-N for all our plants as of 2014 instead of Super-Thrive! Not only does it work great but it’s much less expensive than Super -Thrive! Go to the Epic Grower Company website site for more information on all Dyna-gro products under supplies!
A healthy plant starts with a healthy root system, and healthy root systems start with K-L-N Rooting Concentrate. K-L-N is a vitamin-hormone and nutrient solution proven to promote vigorous root development on cuttings, transplants and newly potted plants. In addition to vitamin B1, K-L-N contains both IBA and IAA rooting hormones to kick your plant’s root growth into high gear. K-L-N makes propagating cuttings incredibly simple. K-L-N is also perfect for use throughout the plant’s life to promote new root growth and reduce transplant shock when re-potting.
All you up north please send a bit of your cold down south. Anyway, I hope everybody in the upper 49 states stay safe with the winter storms this year (bit of news Florida is the only start without snow – even Hawaii has snow someplace). Special note we are shipping the adenium plants and other flowering cactus/succulents plants with 72 warmers. We ship the desert rose plants on certain days of the week to try to keep the plants from staying over in a UPS or USPS warehouse over weekends.
How much K-L-N should I use to soak my adeniums in before re-potting? The directions on the bottle says between 1 to 3 teaspoons per gallon.
Thank you,
Linda
We use 2 teaspoons per gallon and let them sit for 30 minutes.
When you used SuperThrive, how much did you use per gallon?
Good day: We stopped using Super-thrive over a year ago. When we were using it we used two tables spoons per gallon. Now we are totally using Dyna-Gro products.
How do I discard left over KLN after us? Will it harm my grass in my yard? Thank You!
K-L-N is a rooting hormone. Once you use it to dip the plants in before planting save it the mixture. Then re-apply/water with it to the same plants in 1 week intervals until gone.
Can I use the dyna grow bloom as fertilizer after planting? It’s 3-12-6. Thanks.
We do not recommend it until the plant is well establish in its new container/environment. We use a time released formula in the soil instead.
