Hello Adenium Lovers;

Today I would like to invite you to play with new Adenium trend. When we talk about Adeniums, most of people think about flowers with caudex. Now Adenium does not play or attract with only flower anymore, we also have fun with form’s playing. The question is what form we should play on adeniums? The answer is “Bonsai form”. Adenium form that I am talking is not authentic bonsai but it is just used the bonsai technique to make them grow like Bonsai

Hi Adenium Lovers,

I have to write more about the article of “Fun with Form” because I have got many questions from my Adenium fans about how to make nice spread roots and organize them. Today I would like to share more techniques about this.

As Thai proverb "You can't teach an old dog new tricks.", this means that if you want your kids to be good people, you 've gotta coach or tutor them since they are baby.  Adenium is almost the same with this proverb because she cannot listen to you when you coach her… ha ha ha … The concept of making Adenium to become Bonsai Seedlings is root making.

This article will show you the technique to grow better nice Adenium seedling, “Fun with Form” part 2. Last time, I talked about growing Adenium baby seedlings on 4 inches and now I will talk about next step.  After 2-3 months seedlings grow in 4 inches pot, seedlings will get bigger and we need to remove and grow them in 6-8 inches their caudex diameter should be around 1-1.5 inches.  

Here are the main factors to grow Adenium seedling to become with nice form

1.Mother plants or Parents – This is the most important thing to concern because seedling will become nice form if their parents have nice characters. You’d better know the characters or form very well in order to produce the seedling form as you wish.

I would like to share the idea about “How to make nice Rosy Adenium or Multi-overlapping petals?”.  I have got many questions from Adenium lovers around the world, breeders and customers about it. I don’t focus on making Rosy Adenium or multi-overlapping petals, making this very easy, but I focus on making or developing nice, modern, and more new cultivars or flowers. I assume that you know how to do the crossing pollination by hands. If you don’t know how to do this, please click here. Let’s begin.

1. What parents should I use to do hand crossing pollination?
- The first release of Rosy Adenium was “Dox Xon” was discovered by my friend, Mr. Khoung, from Vietnam on 2007. She came up with red double overlapping petal. On ending of year 2008, we started using this Dox Xon’ pollens and put in many single petal mothers

Hello friends;

Today I would like to represent our new Adenium's development coming up with Aroma or Fragrant. You might not believe that Adenium can give fragrance. Now the dream comes true. From my experiences, I just accidentally discovered one of Adenium cultivars which can provide slightly smell during watering in the early morning.

She was grown from “Harry Potter”, Adenium Crispum, or 2007 Hall of Fame. During 2007, I had got Harry Potter’s seedpod from natural pollination, not manually

cross-pollinating the flower. I took that seedpod and grown to seeldings. Luckily, one of seedlings gave flower blooming and slightly fragrant like Jasmine in early morning. I was so happy and this was my begin to produce a hybrid flower : "Aromatic Adenium".

Hybrid flower breeding often is done to produce certain characteristics. Flower breeders and researchers will breed for hardiness, color, bloom life, disease resistance and other desirable qualities. Successful hybridization can result in more variety for the consumer, albeit at an often higher price.

seedlings such as symmetric branches, spread root, antique caudex skin, etc. What Adenium hybrids can use for form playing?

Hi Adenium Lovers;

Today I would like to share the idea of “how to select good Adenium form?”  The criteria that I am going to talk about came from my contest experiences. I have been Adenium jury many times so I would like to share my knowledge what principle jury use for winning Adenium in contest. In here, , Thailand, we have many juries have good experience and decision. Some juries might be new on Adenium, this would make players big headache however the judgment from them is final. Here below is the table shown what criteria jury use for winning Adenium’s judgment. If you are making decision on Adenium's buying, you should read this.

Today I would like to talk about another Adenium Rootstock style with large size. Most people think that most of Adenium Rootstock have round shape caudex and root spread but this style is followed by Bonsai Style with many spiral roots around caudex.

Not only nice caudex and root, branches are also followed with Bonsai class. That means we need to know the branch position to do the grafting in order to make her more beautiful in every angle when flowers are fully bloom.

We have many rootstocks with this style. The most popular now is to graft these rootstocks with Rosy Adeniums. We provide this grafting service with your own

or variety selection to graft with this kind of rootstock. Most of our Rootstock is over 10 years and 12-15 inches caudex diameter so this would make caudex skin look antique and very classical.

Today I would like to share the idea how to make adenium with nice form especially with productive flower blooming's technique. In Thailand, we like to use the medium & Large sizes with gardening and landscape business. The most important thing is to focus on nice caudex form and easily productive flowers.

First, I would like to begin with Caudex selection. We have many caudex styles but mainly there are 3 styles popular here.

1. Round shape or Obesum Rootstock
2. Bonsai Shape or Thai Rootstock
3. Special style e.g. Golden caudex

The caudex form I mentioned above is "Rooststock". Mostly Rootstock itself might not have nice, productive and beautful flowers so we need to graft her with lovely flowers to make her more beautiful.

Today I would like to share the idea why I work on making new mixed hybrid seeds from handed-cross pollination between Arabicum and Thai Socotranum.  I have tried to find the best point of each hybrid both Arabicum and Thai Socotranum. Arabicum grow fast with powerful branches but not good enough for root base’s growth. Thai Socotranum grow slowly but powerful root base especially with nice caudex skin and compact branches.

I have tried many crossing among them for 2 years and found that seeds harvested from each parent come up with different characters. There are many seeds characters different depending on harvesting on parent herself. Seeds look like “Ball Shape” is the best thing which can grow with good form. Good form in my sight is up to Bonsai terms. They should be consist of nice root base, shorter caudex, brownie caudex, and symmetric branches with strong main middle stem. Please see the photo above to see them.

Glad to see you guys again. “Born to be Bonsai” for this article is my personal quote for “Artificial Adenium-Bonsai Seedlings”, not related with real organized Bonsai.  From my experiences, I have found that not only all Adenium seedlings can perform as Dwarf or Compact Seedling form but only 10% can do.  On that time, I focused on only TRUE hybrid from mother plants themselves mostly on Arabicums or Thai Socotranums.  Table below is shown that what good or weak point for each hybrid I have found.

Today I would like to share you the new trend of Adenium form compatible with Bonsai Class. The most attractive of this Adenium 's style is spread root base. it's also consist of short neck, antique skin, and symatric branch comes up with strong middle branch and surrounding side branches. Thai Socotranum itself mostly has high caudex, please see the left photo. Arabicum has wide caudex but branch is hardly compact which most branch will get longer and hard to stop because this is nature of it.

As we know, Golden Crown is one of the best and most expensive Thai Socotranums. It will be better if we can make it more beautiful from the beginning.  First, we have to choose the 4-month seedlings originally from original hybrid Thai Socotranum: Golden Crown. We notice and select the seedlings with caudex balancing with top branches. Branches should be balance in 4 sides or in the same level and also has main middle branch the most important for this Golden Crown. The root’s consideration in this time is pretty hard because it’s in media.

I have got many questions about seed sowing technique. Today I would like to share my experience of it.

This year is longer cold weather not happened in Thailand before. This would help adeniums caudex can store food better and also give healthier seedpods. Seeds are very strong and higher germination rate. We always concern about seed quality affected to seedling quality as well. All of our seeds are harvested from original mother plants so you can ensure they are TRUE hybrids,

this won't waste your sowing time with wrong hybrids. Now let's see how we sow seeds in order to get nice seedlings.

Adenium Manually crossing is very easy. This article will show you how to do this.

In this year, we have produced Adenium flowers with multi-overlapped petals or we called “Rosy Adeniums. This is the biggest revolution of this year not only with Rosy Adeniums but also Adenium form. I have got many questions from Adenium players from many countries how to choose the nice Adenium seedlings to grow or maintain them with better form. Adenium seedlings in my mention is Adenium : Thai Socotranum, Arabicum and mixed hybrid : Thai Socotranum x Arabicum.

Long time ago, most of players only concerned with what hybrids can grow in good form. This would also have a big problem with new players because they are not familiar with Adenium hybrids or characters so they hardly decide and select what hybrids will be able to grow in good form. This will come up with the next question “What is Adenium with good form gonna be?”. About 3 years ago, players here were so serious about true hybrids, not even think much about form because they are very serious to get seedlings grown from true mother plant only. Two years later, Bonsai begins into Adenium especially with Adenium : Thai Socotranum. Players or growers start applying Bonsai’s technique with Adenium : Thai Socotranum. Actually, Bonsai has come to Thailand for many years

OUR NURSERY TOUR
Visit our nursery with over 30,000 seedlings, Many hybrids from our original Mother Plants

As we know, Adeniums are beautiful plants especially with their caudex attraction. They will have much more value if they grow in nice pots and perfect matched with Adeniums. Each one is unique to give a real character to your Adeniums. We would like to offer these pots especially produced with “Hand Made” so they will be better quality and details. These pots are usually matched with medium or large Adenium Caudex.

These are our 3 Aromatic Adenium flower styles with cool fragrance we just released.
This was our first release of Aromatic Adenium with white petal decorating with fresh splashy red stripe.	This was second release of Aromatic Adenium developing from "Red Harry".	This is new release of Aromatic Adenium with yellow tone decorating with tiny red lines.

When you begin to maintain the form of Adenium seedlings, you should know how to start in the right direction and good form in the long term. This can help you not waste your time and wrong trial with growing in better form.  First thing you must know is the adenium’s characters which present in best seedling form most popular one is “Bonsai Form”.
This is the most important thing on Adenium’s maintaining.

Hi Adenium Lovers;

I would like to share a new technique to help making Adenium branches become better symmetric form following with Bonsai Class by using the sunlight’s direction instead of leave cutting. Leave cutting was the old way to control the form mostly used with Arabicum.  This is just to stop getting longer branch in a short term and not only make caudex slower

growing but also root won’t be spread more because of less photosynthesis come from leaves. Here below is the new technique to make nice branches with symmetric form.  

Hello friends;

Today I would like to share new adenium hybrid came from mutation. This mutation will make normal adenium characters or forms change to new ones. I would like to introduce “Dorset Horn” ‘s mutation  impact to leaves, branches, and flowers. “Dorset Horn” mainly happens on a leave which makes it curved down like horn. This “Dorset Horn” characters can happen to every adenium species such as Arabicum, Obesum, Somalense but it’s very hard to happen.

Super Deluxe Plastic Adenium Bonsai Pot
Rip the form of stucco to design a new pot into the form of AA-grade plastic materials which makes with good quality and durable plastic bonsai. This pot is mocked up from genuine Chinese Bonsai pot. Now most pots for medium size of Adenium is generally used stucco material. This is hard and difficult in transporting and inconvenience in transportation, including fracture.

This Plastic Pot can be shipped easily so we have an idea to split the rules of the intensity of a light and durable. You don't need to worry about fragile during shipping and the most important is inexpensive pots like cement. This pot is suitable for Adenium Bonsai or even Adenium flower, but as the dimensions are Length 50.5 cm / Width 40.5 cm / Height 14 cm/ thickness of 3 mm.

This article will show the technique on how to fix adenium seedling with longer, disorder and not symmetric branches to become better following with bonsai style. I use the pruning technique and bonsai concept to do this. Most of growers or players know well about pruning but how we prune to make plants get more attractive. First, you’ve gotta know why we need to prune adeniums.

When growing Adenium seedling to become bonsai characters, the key to success is pruning. In this article, we will discuss how to prune Adenium so you can have an amazing one. Keep in mind that different species of adeniums are suitable for different styles so learning how to prune adenium the right way is essential not just to appearance but to the overall health of the adenium. What you will find is that function and form walk a fine line when it comes to bonsai, requiring a perfect balance of science of growth and art, something that takes time to learn.

This article will shown you the new trend of grafting Adenium Obesum on Adenium Arabicum.  Most of colorful flowers originally came from Adenium Obesum, unlike Adenium Arabicum mostly give only soft or deep pink flower. Adenium Arabicum has unique style especially on big trunk caudex, chubby, and some species can perform nice spread root base unlike Adenium Obesum. Some Arabicum species have black or antique caudex skin like Adenium Thai Socotranum.  This’s why we can grow and maintain Arabicum to become bonsai form popular in Adenium players and collectors. Most adenium lovers know adenium in terms of caudex and nice color flowers when full blooming.  That means they care for attractive flower for easier selling. Bonsai's trend on Adenium seedling came here 5 years ago but most players focused on growing Arabicum or Thai Socotranum.

Fancy Rosy Adenium grafting on Adenium Arabicum rootstock, 14 inches caudex diameter, aged 3 years, grows in Bonsai Pot.

Hello friends,

Today I would like to introduce Adenium defined with mainly popular form and structure. In here, Thailand, there are 6 distinctive forms following with Adenium structure and contest styles. ecause of attractive forms, various blooms and species, Adeniums or Desert Roses have become well-known and popular among plant lovers and collectors. Recently, Thai breeders and growers can pollinate Adeniums’ flowers by hands, leading to a wide variety of hybrids. Ok, let’s begin now.

Hello Friends;

Today I would like to share our new development on Rosy Adenium with triple white overlapping petals. Developing on white is pretty hard to get on pure white because they will have tiny pink or yellow on petal borders.

Pure white is the most wanted for players or collectors here. Sometimes it looks stable on mother plant, but when making 1st grafting on other rootstocks, tiny pink or yellow comes up again on border.

We've spent 2 years to use our most pure white on single petal crossing with original Rosy Adenium. Just keep crossing and doing research. We had about 50 varieties on white Rosy Adeniums but we checked the stablility with pure white and found that only 5 varieties have the best pure white and 100% white stability (The pure white is still the same as their mothers even grafting on other rootstocks).

White is one of rare adenium flower' colors, mostly are red. Players or collectors have been looking for the best white to make grafting on large rootstocks. They are very nice when full blooming happens. We also have new arrivals on Rosy Adeniums and Single Adenium petals with many lovely styles, please see table below. I hope you are gonna like them.
Have a nice day.

Hello friends;

I have got many questions from Adenium lovers about how to produce Adenium comes up with Triple Multi-Overlapping petals (Rosy Adenium or Rose without thorns) or more. As I said, the original or first Rosy Adenium came from Vietnam and she was accidentally discovered by my Vietnamese friend, Mr. Khuong 3 years ago. She was given name as "Dox Xon". She has double overlapping petals with fresh red petal. This was the first starting point for me to start developing Rosy Adeniums with colorful varieties and styles.

Here was my technique to produce Triple Overlapping Petals or more. Please see the steps as below:

1. Producing nice single petal being used as mother
First, you need to think or imagine what your Rosy Adenium is gonna look like referred by single petal or mother’s characters.  From my experiences, the characters of Rosy Adenium will mainly tend to “Single Petal” or Mother if you use Rosy Adenium “Dox Xon” as father or her pollen. That’s because she is pretty pure Adenium Obesum hybrid, not Crispum or Somalense, very stable and not impact to mother’s characters while making cross pollination. Father can give the characters of multi-overlapping petals after crossing.  You can see how I do Adenium’s crossing from this link.

Point of Fun
The most important thing is how nice or beauty of mother or single petal you have in your hands.
This’s why I like to develop many new styles of single petal first and use them to develop new Rosy Adenium later. There are 3 main criteria to choose single petal or mother are flower form, flower’s productivity, and color or style.  The crossing process will take about 2 months until you get seeds to grow. After sowing them, you will see the new flower bloom around one year. You can see our new 2010 Adenium single petal from this link; we have over 70 varieties release now.  To produce Rosy Adenium is very easy now; you can produce many styles and characters depending on your single petal in your pocket. This could be your “Point of Fun”

Very productive flowers	New Yellow + stronger petal	New star style
New Red Blue petal	Pink Orange + clear stripes	Big spread white throat
Spin multi-red line	New classical red tone	New flower form
Another new brown	New Star Fish Style	Our latest Aroma Adenium

2. Double Crossing’s Technique
As above, the best Rosy Adenium using as father or pollen is “Dox Xon” because her own stability made father’s flower characters less change.  Here is what I produce triple or more overlapping petals and I called this “Double Crossing’s Technique”. After getting nice single petal on my own wish then I need to produce the double overlapping petal on her by crossing her with Rosy Adenium: ” Dox Xon” then she will come up with new Rosy Adenium much look like mother’s flowers characters but mostly double overlapping petals. After that make

2nd crossing on her again with “Dox Xon”, then you will get “Triple Multi-Overlapping” petals. From my experiment, I have found that only 15% with new Rosy Adenium like mother, 50% Rosy Adenium but red like Dox Xon or father, and the rest are single petals. Please see the diagram below to get more understanding.

Rootstock condition is one of the important factors; we use the “organic fertilizer”, not use the chemical fertilizer to boost the caudex size, to grow rootstock naturally. Using chemical not only boost caudex grow faster and bigger, it will impact to flower colors and characters and the risk is rootstocks will get rotten easier during delivery and repotting.

You can see the Rosy Adenium’s producing is very easy. You just select the nice or beauty of single

petal and follow the steps above. There will be many things to know about Adenium and have fun with developing them. Now we can make Adenium flowers like Rose, which without thorns but nice caudex and roots. One thing that they don’t have is “fragrance”. Fortunately, we have fragrant on single petal and now we start crossing this with Rosy Adenium. We hope in next year, we can have new Rosy Adenium come up with fragrant. I think that’s all for today, please feel free to email me to ask or comment about Adenium, Enjoy growing Adenium and have a nice day.

Hello Friends;

Today I would like to share the idea how to select nice Adenium single flower to develop to become more beautiful or Rosy Adenium (Multi-Overlapping petals or Rose without thorn) flowers. Of course, your adeniums will look nice if their parents are beautiful. That means you’ve gotta know “Match Maker”. As my previous article about how to produce nice Rosy Adenium, the key thing is how nice single petal (mother), the multi-overlapping petal’s characters will come from Rosy Adenium: “Dox Xon” (Father).

In term of producing Rosy Adenium, Single flower will act like “Queen” which can give new baby born or flowers look almost the same as their mother characters. The “King” must be Rosy Adenium can change these babies characters changed from single to multi-overlapping petals after being crossed each other. The first step is to produce single petal or select nice single flower. The Rosy Adenium pollen or King is just help creating the structure of multi-overlapping petals to her baby. That means the key to make nice Rosy Adenium is to have nice Queen.

Let’s get back to this article; this idea would help you save your time on development.

There are 7 things to concern with selecting the flowers to develop or breed in order to make them get more beautiful on your own style. Here they are

1. Flower form: Most of breeders love Adenium flower with round or circular shape. Some flowers can have more different style also weird flowers such as star style and petals should not fold down.

2. Flower size:  Most players love bigger flower size but I think size doesn’t matter. Most of bigger flower sizes are less productive flowers than smaller sizes. You should also concern with perfect matching with rootstock style. Some rootstocks are great with small size but much more productive flowers when full blooming. For example,

rootstock with spread root base, short caudex or trunk, and multiple branches, you should select the small productive flowers to graft on it.

3. Get dress up: This is one of the most important things to make your flowers get dress or wear with nice clothes more beautiful and attractive than plain colors .e.g. pure red, white, purple and pink but not naked, ha ha ha. The dresses you could put on them are border, stripe, dot, multi-lines, throat, splash, etc. This is also concluded with colorful dresses make them look more sexy and fashionable.

4. Face up: Good flowers should face up look better when full blooming. You can notice that most of face up flowers will have short peduncle. This is the most important thing to produce Rosy Adeniums (Multi-Overlapping petals) because most of Rosy Adenium flowers weigh more than single petal. If peduncle is long and not strong enough, it will make Rosy Adenium flowers face down even their flowers are very attractive.

5. Thick Petals: Adenium flowers with thick petals will bloom longer than thin petals and also resist with insect, raining, and diseases. Most contesters love to select Adenium flowers with thick petals to graft with their nice rootstocks.

6. Leaves: Leave characters will help your Adenium get prettier. Leaves should be matched with flowers and rootstocks. For example, small, long and narrow leaves with small flowers will be great with Adenium Arabicum (chubby trunk) rootstock.

7. Virus: Actually this thing might not be pretty concerned by buyers because they don’t know what adeniums they buy Adenium infected with virus. This thing is very important to breeders or growers because they will make flower and leaves lose form. This virus can spread very easy when make grafting with other adeniums.

You can notice this symptom as brown spotted flowers, small white spot on leaves, curly leaves.

8 Luckiness: This item is not relevant with your developing skills or experiences.  This comes from the outcome of crossing pollination to get new varieties or flowers. It’s just like more value added to these new flowers e.g. fragrance, changeable color, changeable style, etc.  This would make you more fun to working on this development. From now on, we can produce Adenium with cool fragrance and changeable color and style after blooming.

Now we can produce Adenium which has Multi-Overlapping petals (like rose) and we called this that “Rosy Adenium”.  We dream some days we can also produce Rosy Adenium come up with cool fragrance more like rose. All of this comes from the “Power of Single Petal”.

I think this is enough for you first start to develop new adeniums with more attractive and beautiful both single and Rosy Adenium in the future. There are many things getting to know with this plant. One more important thing is just keep crossing and crossing with smart way before wasting your time. I hope you will have fun with adenium developing.

One more thing to check the flower's stability after making more amount on new babies or flowers is "Rootstock".

We always check the new flowers' stabilty before releasing them to market. We use strong and healthy rootstocks growing with natural organic fertilizer and 3 month fermented soil (cow manure+soil+EM). We've never used chemical fertilizer to boost up the bigger and faster rootstock caudex size. on these rootstocks because this would impcact to flower's stability on new grafting

(baby scions) on these rootstocks. Due to Chemical Fertilizer might effect to new flower colors and forms from new scions' grafting. Growing Adenium Rootstock with natural organic fertilizer on will reduce being rotten after repotting them on new media. I think this's all for today and I bet you will enjoy growing adeniums. Have a nice day.
