last modified: 11 years ago

on 1st june i have grafted 48 single petal adeniums with rosy adeniums (scions collected 2 veraities from my friend).

all are growing well grafting success rate nearly 90%. Intresting one i have kept one scion in refrigerator for 4 days(wrapped with newspaper and plastic cover) after 4 days i have again grafted 5 plants with that scion they are fine. Buds also coming for last image( 3 years old).

    Hi Satish, great job grafting so many at a go and great results too! May I ask how old were the single petal ones you grafted the scions onto? Do you grow them from seed too? What's to be fed to them to make them grow ao fast? Mine are grafted but after repotting growing too slow,maybe I am missing something.

    Even my seedlings are growing slim and tall hardly putting on any girth.Any ideas on what to feed them would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Great work! Your work is really inspiring to me!

    i am using planter 1 (8" inch pot) if you use smaller pots (4" inch)may be fertilizer required frequently for me i do not use chemical fertilizers only organic. Fast growing is not required growing healthy is important. my adeniums grown from seed (except last image).

    Hi Satish,

    Remarkable! Well done! I like the look of the flat graft. You matched the scion diameter size to the seedling perfectly. Please share your technique/method. In the not too distance future I would like to try my hand at grafting. Two thumbs up to you!

    Satish,

    What very nice clean looking grafts. Often times I've seen very sloppy, unmatched grafts on plants for sale. So kudos for working so hard to match your understock and Scion.

    So, since this thread is called "grafted Adeniums" would it be appropriate for me to ask questions about grafting Adeniums? Like, why is it done? How does it make that (previous answer) happen?

    Do they use different species for the different parts of the graft?

  • 11 years ago

    grafting is used minimize the plant size.

    to get more branches

    to clone specific veraities . Check 1st pic all of my adeniums(single petals) grafted with 3 veraities multipetal scions (branches). Now they are turned multipetal adniums with diffent 3 different clours.
