How to create amazing root spreads on Adeniums (desert rose) | The Bonsai Supply 

You are my favorite bonsai RU-vidr, Jerome. Thank you for your expertise!

My favorite flowering plant. Keep the videos on Desert roses coming 👍

My friend you can’t leave it untouched for 2 years, cause it will go back to stage one. Roots grow extremely fast and if not directed to as where you want them to go, they will just curl back inwards. The ideal work time is 6 to 9 months so you can eliminated unwanted roots and direction.

First time watching your video am from Jamaica. Very informative video.Most of my desert roses are in sun but i notice that the leaves often get black spots and turn yellow so am glad i saw this video. There are a few under a shade cloth and i realize that those dont have the black spots and turn yellow. Should i just water more frequently those remain in full sun.

You are doing an amazing job.Thank you🌺🌺🌺

Thanks Jerome, very informative!!

I always enjoy watching your videos.

You are a genius!!! I’m in Phoenix Arizona area. I am going to try your tips.

Great content cheers man

Thank you brother 🙏🌳

Cool🎉

Great video! Would love to know how old the desert roses you showed pics of are, as well as the age of the specimen you were working on! Mine is so small right now, so--goals for sure :D

Fantastic information on Desert Rose. Wondering where I can get a large mica pot like the one in video?

if i dont have limestone paste can i use Sulphur?

I am curious what the benefit is of repotting it into a deep pot, versus immediately repotting it into a shallow but wide pot. Would it not encourage more radial root growth that way?

ive got another idea sir☺️☺️♥️

Hello Jerome. I love you guys. I'm trying to find out more about the temps for the DR. I know everyone says, "It doesn't like night temps below 50deg F." Not "liking" it; does that mean it'll die if the night temps get below 50 or it'll just piss it off a little? Can it tolerate it? What actually happens? I live in South Louisiana and it's supposed to be Spring, but we are still occasionally getting a night here and there that dip below 50deg for a few hours. I work offshore and I'm gone for 2 weeks at a time. I LOVE my neighbors because they help take care of all my bonsai and koi fish when I'm gone, but don't want to eventually burn them out by moving my plants back and forth every two days because the weather is STUPID right now. Can you give me a little guidance on what happens when the DR gets temps below 50, and how many hours of it can it tolerate before it just dies and never returns. Thanks in advance.

Very informative. Wondering if putting the plant in two plastic discs about the same s size of those two trunks would aid in focusing the direction of root growth out and away from the trunk(s)? Looking forward to seeing this plant at its next stage. Two years seems a long time away. Keep up the great videos.

Love the video-very helpful. So, what about the Arabicum? Do you do the same thing s with it? and is the soil the same?

How do you create more branching on top?

Hi Jerome, Nice video. I try to do twice with my Adenium but I was unsaccesfull. Maybe I started to water Plant to early. My question is: do you apply any root hormone?

Dude my gut did a full suck when you cut off all the roots in one flat chop. I have the same size adenium but I think I made a mistake or two. I didnt leave it to dry 2 weeks. I cut offall leaves, flowers and limbs a few inches from the caudex, all being too high, 12-14 inches. Then i cleaned up some roots and repotted, and still did the splash every 3-4 days. I'm hoping the plant hasn't rotted at the roots. Hoping the new shoots will pop out closer to the caudex. I've added hydrogen peroxide 1:40 to the splash of water every 3-4 days. Hope I didn't kill the damn thing. I give it an inspirational talk every morning. And shake it and say goodnight every evening. When time permits I play some tunes on the guitar to it orplay some of the beta, alpha vibes on apps by bluetooth during the day. I think plants are responsive to certain sounds and vibrations. I'll know if it dies my taste in music sucks.

not a fan of your soil. its to rigid. doesn't allow room for growth. it causes indentions in the caudex and root system as the plant grows.

Wait, what? You're in Texas now??
