I have one main Adenium plant which in three years I had never repotted nor lifted. I took your advice and did so and it is amazing how much bigger and fatter the caudex is. I also pruned it a couple of weeks ago and have eight cuttings which are now rooting. They look good so far. I like your videos because of your simple and clear instructions. The peaceful background music is nice too!
Did you use any specific technique as to where you made the cuts on the limbs? I've seen so many different videos where some say cut 4"-5" above the trunk while others say to cut just above the crescent. Mine is old and huge, very leggy and needs to be pruned but there are crescents everywhere and they're so close together I wouldn't know where to cut. I'm terrified to prune it bc this is the only plant I've ever been able to keep alive. I've had it well over 15 years. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
@@SeQuin80085 I cannot say I had any particular technique. I mostly cut off limbs where I thought it would look nice if it branched out. Sadly, most of the cuttings did not survive, though I do have two that did. I think it was from not using the best fungicide. (I used cinnamon). Next time I'll buy something more "professional". The original plant is looking great.
@@CliffBell Also, be sure they dry out before planting them. They need to “scab” first, (I think) Then use a fungicide. I also use root hormone. Happy Growing!
Your videos have mades a big impact on my life and my little hobby, the wife said to tell you "THANKS A LOT SONY LE"!!! she was a little sarcastic... My "little hobby " has cost about $2500.00 in the last couple months, with the cement pots and uncountable number of desert roses I've purchased lately. Me, myself a huge THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. I will personally make you famous in TEXAS. I haven't felt so satisfied in years.
This video and all your answers to other viewers is just what I need for growing those beautiful adeniums, I have been waiting for it for a while from you and now I’m so happy, thank you for this amazing video, please keep us updated about all your desert roses, you grow them so well, just gorgeous!
Wife and I were at Home Depot last night looking for a particular flower pot and I asked one of the guys if they had any Desert Rose, Adeniums, in stock as they have been out of them. He said sure and led me to the far corner where they had a small sampling. Then he told me "You know, there is a guy on RU-vid who cuts these and replants, etc and turns them into bonsai." I said "Yeh, Sony Lee"...he said "Yes! That's the guy!" You are famous over here on the east coast of Florida Sony... :)
I'm watching from Scandinavia, Northern Europe, so you could say Son Lee is famous everywhere in the world :) I also watch another Desert Rose enthusiast in Florida, "Maria's Garden" on YT. She has a garden center with lots of Desert Roses. Good luck with your new Desert Rose!
Mưa vẫn mưa bay qua miền đất mẹ...dài tay em với .. thuở mắt xanh xao... ..... ngày phiêu lãng quên mình lãng du... Cám ơn bạn đuoc nghề nhạc của Trình công Sơn và xem cách trồng . Mình rất thích loại hoa desert rose Ở canada rất khó mua được. Cám.on bạn nhiều. God bless you.
I'm running out to buy a little desert rose and try your method of re-potting and cutting. So inspired by your patience and love for your plants :) Thk u!
Thanks Sony! Great advice! I have 4 potted Desert Roses. They came with very nice wide bases BUT I will copy your method to make a large wide trunk faster. All are red. Next time I will look for a white one.
Love your channel, Mr. Lee! I’ve learned a lot from you. I’ve recently purchased 7 seedlings and can’t wait to put your methods to use. Watching from Guam 🇬🇺 Happy Gardening!!!
Mr Le I love your channel. Its very informative and have beautiful music and wonderful setting. Very relaxing and encouraging to repot the desert rose. I have used your techniques and have been successful. Thank you again for sharing and teaching us.
Thanks! Great info. I have one year old seedlings in one gallon pots and feel it's time to start raising and repot and I want a large caudex for my desert roses. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos! My first dessert rose died cause I didn't know how to care for it. I now have 7 beauties and they are thriving & Your are famous in St. Petersburg, FL too.
Thank you!!!!! Your video is very informative. I live in Texas and hope I will have success like you. Again, thank you! Excellent video and instructions.
Thank You for most educational video. I like a lot how to see the development of Your plants. One question: Is it recommended to do repotting ( without root cutting ) and pruning at the same time?
I just watched a white teenage boy give me tips to make the trunk swol w super dope flowers 😑 What did I learn find a wise Asian man when wanting to know about bonsai 😅😅 but seriously thank you I want mine to have a twisted trunk and you’re the only one who gave me the answer. 🥰🥰
I really like that you don't cut the roots. I feel it's really traumatic for plant and you make it look so natural. I can't wait for mine to look like yours!
Hay Sonny I have been watching for a while but I subscribe now I enjoy the pot making and maybe I get back into bonsai again, I remember the pots so expensive. But now I can make my own thank you.
Hi Sony Lee I'm watching your videos completely mesmerised. The beautiful things you do and all the living things you keep and grow. Especially your Bonsai Desert Roses are very beautiful. How do you prepare them for their dormancy in the freezing vinter? Thank you for sharing both knowledge and your personal skills!
