Tanaman Adenium,ya,banyak yang mencari Adenium, terutama artikel mengenai cara budidaya, optimalkan,merawat,menjaga kesehatan,memperbesar,menyembuhkan tanaman Adenium ini karena jenis tanaman ini termasuk jenis tanaman yang mahal dan mewah. Adenum kalau tidak salah disebut mawar gurun / desert rose. (more…)

A couple of weeks ago I somehow mistook my liquid houseplant fertilizer for my bottle of liquid cacti & succulent fertilizer when I decided to fertilize my Adenium Obesum plants. The next day the leafs starting showing signs of fertilizer burn and were browning at the tips.Within a couple of days all three of the plants were defoliated and the largest of the three started showing signs of rotting. If you look at the picture above you can see that one stem has turned down about half way down from the tip, oddly enough the tip is green and I may try to root it. I'm not 100% sure this rot is a result of the rotting but it happened at the same time that I mixed up the fertilizers. On the plus side is that the a whole new set of buds broke to replace the stem that had rotted and the new leaves on the plants are a lot smaller. You can see the difference in the leaf size of the same plant from the previous entry titled Adenium Obesum Care.The new leaves are a lot smaller and thinner and

Tanaman ini sangat mirip dengan the peach. Terutama garis tengah yang terletak ditengah petalnya. Adenum bunga kuning ini sangat dinanti-nantikan kedatangannya oleh para ademania, karena merupakan hasil evolusi secara hibryd dari beberapa varietas. Adenium kuning (Yellow shine) ini muncul dari negeri Taiwan, negara kecil di kepulauan Formosa. Ciri-ciri dari adenium kuning ini diantaranya : Rajin berbung meskipun batang masih kecil. Punggung petal berwarna merah, tapi bagian dalam sudah kelihatan berwarna kuning. Tulang daun seakan ‘berdarah’ pada bagian pangkalnya. Adenium warna kuning ini tidak hanya satu jenis saja, tapi ada beberapa jenis mulai dari yang berpetal tegas dengan berbentuk lebar sampai berbentuk kriting.

Awalnya adenium somalense ini tidak disukai kebanyakan ademania, karena tumbuhnya tidak mudah. Tapi setelah besar tampilannya sangat lucu. Somalense var crispum berasal dari Mogadishu, Somalia memiliki bonggol yang bisa berbentuk bulat, dan pada bagian atas langsung keliatan cabang-cabang tanpa keliatan batangnya lagi. Dan ketika daun-daunnya keluar, maka makin jelas keunikan dari tanaman somalense ini.

Ini merupakan tips yang bagus untuk mengetahui seputar kegagalan grafting pada adenium : Begoyang – goyang sehingga kambium tidak akurat bersentuhan Faktor usia batang. Atas lebih tua daripada bagian bawah Terkena air tepat pada bagian sambungan Pisau tidak steril yang mengakibatkan infeksi dan jamuran Mengalami penguapan, yang berakibat kebusukan atau sambungan (grafted)

In a previous garden blog entry on how I care for the Adenium Obesum plants in my collection I wanted to include a current photo of the plants in my cacti & succulent collection. I just took a photo of mine to show what they're looking like now as they break dormancy and I start to give them water.If you're interested in propagating your Adenium Obesum plants you can easily start them from seeds and from cuttings. Here's my previous garden blog entry on starting Adenium Obesum seeds. Propagation of Adenium Obesum is also very simple by taking cuttings and allowing them the wound to callous over for a couple of days and then inserting the cuttings into a rooting medium and keeping it out of full sun while it roots. Because the plant when cut exudes a milky sap that could be harmful you should wear gardening gloves to protect your hands and even protective goggles, better safe than sorry.As I was uploading this photo I remembered an anecdote told on a cacti & succulent forum by a

Adenium Obesum, also known as Desert Rose, is native to Eastern Africa and Northern Arabia. They like full sun and are very heat tolerant. In the ground it can grow anywhere from 6-12 feet tall, it produces very attractive flowers and it is a popular plant among cacti and succulent collectors for it's unusual trunk.Growing this rare tropical plant in my indoor garden in Chicago has been a big learning experience. When I started hanging around gardening forums and reading about this plant I came across many threads and people that commented on how hard it was to keep this plant alive and healthy. Many people discouraged this plant for beginners to container gardening or for people who don't have don't have a greenhouse or windows that receive full sun.The plant in the photo I bought at Wal-Mart, of all places, and since then I found two more at Home Depot's garden center. I didn't pay more than five dollars for each plant and considering the prices I've seen at on-line auction si
