Great tour. I missed the start of this. Let us see when you repot the old guy. Can't wait

rob not sure which one u talking about but the plant is only 14inch wide and the pots are 20inch
not sure yet on how high im gonna raise raise
marica will post when potted, its gonna be a while, need to butcher some rots underneath and let it heal

Arabicum And PBN

obesum mini white

Above; on the Diamond King. Was the caudex pruned when it was young?

Rob

Totally in Awe... did you post a picture of the fused babies?

no rob, diamond king has never been pruned till feb 4 picture, i should have done that so that scars will be smaller, only decorated the roots not sliced also

this is her now spacecoast, the other caudex starting envelopes the other one

LOL.. Looks amazing but kinda pornographic!!! Did they actually fuse together?

im not sure if they fused already, i didnt do any cuts when i combined them together i just let the other one go on top of the other plant,

Petch BaNNa

her new home and roomates

That look's very good, especially from a distance in the group shots. That pot look's a lot bigger shown in context.

Is that a xmas cactus in there? Those blooms will complement the Adenium.

its really heavy, i have to call my gf to help me lift the pot lol,

and yes its a xmas cactus, i took it from my moms succulent area lol, she was looking for it didnt say anything until she wondered around my adeniums lol

Does the Christmas cactus like full sun?

I put mine in full to partial afternoon sun,

and it seems happy.

Rob

i think i only seen xmas cactus bloomed ones, thats about it lol...

dorset horn hybrids...5 out of 5....emerald crowns and black hawks in the back

It's not unusual for this cactus to get 2; even 3 flowers on a single leaf tip.

You have created quite an Oasis in your back garden, Jericson. All looks so lush and a place I would be in my glory sitting in. What a wonderful group of plants you have.

The tower form is quite appealing.

Rick

Hi old post questions. Did the triples survive? what did they look like older.? wondered what the obesums grafted to arabicum stock looks like now? I know you may have sold them, I can hope you got a pic.

Do you find that planting other plants into the pot with the tree that the roots don't bother the Adenium? I like the look of the 30yr old with the plants around it. Or you only plant other plants with the older trees?

You've created paradise Jericson, stunning!!!

Incredible! Absolutely amazing.

marica the triplets is pretty much alive but the other one died, i only got 1 obesum grafted success to arab stock and its now leafing out.

other plants i plant around my adenium their roots dont get big like adeniums, its basically all feeder roots and can pull it out without harming the other plants, i can plant them in any age of the plant

thanks conny and susana

TS HYBRID date planted 2.20 to now 7.20 in 6 inch pot

Pic one those nodes will turn into branches? That would fill in very nice

yes marica all nodes will become branches when they get older

That will be interesting to see when the nodes fill in

Man, on some of these longer threads; I get an email notice and click to view. It takes me to a comment; and I start reading along only to find out it's several months old. The website drop's me off at the wrong place. It usually works the second time around though.

Rob

Rob it does that to me too. Could make you dizzy while it loads. But i found a post I missed a couple of months ago so I guess I will live.

Kill me for reviving such a long thread but it's such a nice one! Thank you, Jericson yet again for sharing all of these with us. I keep learning and I enjoying reading.

Hi Jericson your collection is fantastic, I've learned a lot from your posts, maybe one day implement some of your grafting techniques. As of now I'm fairly new to the desert Roses but your plants and Rachals from Australia are great inspirations. you seem to like the Arabicums a lot, these are my favorites. Where did you order your Nin Mung Korn from, I've gotten some Arabicums from Out of Africa but they didn't have anything like your Chada, Nin mung korn, diamond Crown! You have an Emerald Green thumb andThanks again for your posts and info, Ray from Florida!

thanks patty and ray,

did some changes to my small backyard this past year. its been a busy year for me with my hobby and work.

Look's very nice! A bit more organization, and much easier to photograph.

3 siblings...grown in different methods.. all 2yrs of age

new setup for my seedlings

Beautiful collection

Marster at work that's all i can say :×)

Master for sure, lovely plants

Now you're thinking!

Rob

i only do mylar on the newly germinated seeds,

I'd love your setup not your power bill lol

Im still trying to save for a a solar generator. I need to sell lots of Adeniums lol.

our electric bill every month is around $10 to $20

Jericson us in Australia have some of the most expensive power in the world we have coal, wind, solar and hydro power on tap but power is very expensive .

Jericson - How many LED's do you have, and what kind? I'm looking to reduce my utility bill. lol

BTW, I contacted the USDA; to see what type of hoops I would have to jump through in order to get my license. The guy said as long as I'm operating entirely inside the state, I wouldn't need to be licensed or inspected by them.
