Another HUGE Desert Rose! | Potting a MONSTER Adenium Obesum! 

I also look at the caudex because of the look of it. I just started to plant seeds. I hope they sprout. Started to look at deep rose videos and discovered yours.

I discovered the desert rose this year and I'm so glad I found your video! Very informative! I love that your a fellow Texan also! Hopefully you have a video on Ponytail Palms I need some pointers on how not to kill them!! Lol

Good to see so many people are growing these fantastic plants! I bought my first one in 1990, It was at a cactus green house in Dundas Ontario Canada, It was also a lot of growth on top and all the tater was in the pot. When I transplanted it, it was beautiful huge caudex that constantly flowered. Now I live in Victoria British Columbia and garden centers are getting them in every color imaginable! I just picked up a white flowering one grown from seed and not from a graft, It is good to be back at it!

It’s not necessary to break a pot. Use garden sprayer and screw driver to wash out all the soil and rocks. Keep rinsing until all the soil is gone the plant will come out and now trim off all the spaghetti roots. Dust with cinnamon and allow to sit in shade for a couple days before replanting.

Nice man. I had a few growing that started to flower but they all died over the winter. This winter I'll bring them inside or build a greenhouse. Keep us updated on your two.

Drywall Tape works really well to cover the holes up.

Amazing score and huge caudex!!! I hope we can see an update for this adenium in the near future!!! Thanks for the video and education.

Hello from Wichita Falls Texas!! Was listening to Jason on Coghill he mentioned you so here I am!! ❤❤❤ New Sub 🌻

oh i love jimbo's!

Sweet plant, love them

Awesome plant!!

Hello, thanks for sharing lots of great information. I am a Desert Rose fan too. I read that you are not sure about using cinnamon, but have you ever heard about using Titebond glue III to seal the plant after pruning?

Massive caudex!!! Subscribed

Harry Potter reference: Mandrakes. They scream when lifted. I raise adeniums too and if I get a good caudex underground, I call it my little mandrake. 😂

Nice bud. I repotted one of mine recently.

nice dog you have sir

No cinnamon after the cuts? I’m trying to learn about desert roses because I have some but they’re lanky.

Mandrake is what you were thinking of with Harry Potter.

How are you adding nutrients?

I have a large desert rose. 4’wide x 3’ tall above soil. It is in a large pot. 24” at top. I had branches that we’re getting mushy and there is a small section about 20% of the roots that got mushy. I pulled it out of the pot and cut out the mushy sections and put it in my garage to dry out. we live in Southwest Florida with a lot of rain this time of year throughout the summer. We put cinnamon on all the bad areas that were cut out. Please help if you can.. I watched your video where you use the bonsai mix. Is there something I can fill the bottom of the pot to save money on the mix since the desert Rose is not that deep.

You don’t have to put cinnamon where you trimmed? It looks great.

If I just bought a desert rise that’s currently flowering of if I replant it in a pot will it stop the flowering?

Is that an obesum?

Why didn’t you wash that beautiful baby?
