Very nice, Koi

Thanks Rcharles, I told myself I had enough of dr plants....but somehow I just couldn't resist these temptation when I saw them. No regrets anyway.

I love the look of the two in the first photo. NRSundaram of India has a lot of history and photo's of many of his plants. He grows many of his Arabicums in the ground for quite sometime before lifting. He mentions about how the Caudex or girth of the Arabicum's grows across the soil on a horizontal plain. He finds that they grow faster and much wider in the ground or I would assume in a pot with good width to allow for growth outwards.

Wonderful gentleman and has contributed to much of the Adenium worlds knowledge.

Rick

Thanks Rick for the info and the great contributions from NRSundaran, perhaps I should try planting it in a broader width pot.

Koi,

Nice forms from what I could tell. I still haven't gotten around to obtaining Arabicum seeds. Rick has been encouraging to do so. Someday...

Kadie, I have seed of Arabicum Shada x KHZ and possibly some others.

They are yours if you want to give them a try? I have a feeling they will prosper where you live.

Let me know. Was not sure if or how to send a note through website.

Rick

Wow! That is very generous of you, Rick! Yes! I would be honored to raise your Arabicum Shada. I will send you a note with my mail address.

I just love the forms of these arabicum! Terrific addition to your garden, Koi.

I'm jealous! Those look amazing. Good form on those.

Koi, those are beautiful, healthy looking plants. May I ask what your soil consist of? It looks different/interesting.

Hi Ladylotus, the above shows my general mixture of soil. A, peat soil mixt, B,charcoal chips, C, organic fertilizer, D, burnt coarse clay soil(produced from brick factory) and E, dried coconut husk chips.

Thanks Koi, it looks like a very great porous mix. I appreciate you sharing.

Koi

Lovely plants.Do you know what color flowers they will be having? Just a thought, what purpose do charcoal and burnt brick pieces serve? Do they have any nutrition for the plant? Or they jusr make soil porous. Can one use pieces of old clay pots or gravel(which I have used) in lieu of charcoal & burnt clay? Will it make any difference ? Your comments please.

Koi, nice looking arabicum plants.

Marie

Koi, That is so great. Your trees have done so well and nice to see a bloom on you Arabicum. They look so healthy. I think the flowers on Arabicum are quite, are they not?

Thanks for the update. I hope weather and life in general are treating you well.
