It is already showing some cool characteristics, Rick. How old is this seedling? I think it would be a great candidate for branch training with wires. I love the shape of the leaves, they look like little canoes. Thanks for sharing.

This plant was stated in the fall of 2013. Always a slow time for me to start seedlings. Never start them now until the spring, as I find that the ones started in the fall here are the same size as the ones I start in the following spring.

Had not thought of the branch training and such, Tracy. Very good idea and thank you for the thought process.

Rick

how old is he rick? you can cut the leafs out, and branch wire it so that the sun can hit the middle part also, it can promote new growths and to help the stems to get harder at the same time

Just under 2 years old Jericson. I like your idea of using wiring to promote new growth, never thought of it quite that way. Interesting idea.

Rick I know that you are somewhat of a purist when it comes to manipulating Adenium (this is a compliment). However this could be a fun experiment.

my chef went vacation back to his country in japan and got me this, we can always undo the wiring's after, but some or most of the adeniums have a very very soft stems, that even after you wire them for 6 months they tend to go back to its natural form, so most people who does this they just leave the wiring's for good and it has this unique aura when its been wired out

Jericson these are amazing! The amount of detail is mind blowing. Every root in the first Adenium is pinned perfectly into place. The form is absolutely perfect.
