You can buy grafted plants from the people I suggested or on Ebay. There are some good sellers on there. Or buy from local Box stores. We can't find them here in Ca but maybe you can. There is also DesertRose in Fl since you don't do facebook.

There are a lot of weekend market places too. Did you try Oregon Cactus and succulent Society?

Since I don't know if you know about their care here is a blog from a member http://kalachuchiatbp.blogspot.com/p/adenium-in-cold-places_8.html 

There are video's on care and things you can do to Adenium on Utube some need muted because they are not in english but fun to watch.

I'm talking to Tracy,waiting anxiously to see what she has, and looking at the ones from the link you gave me. can't find any at the box stores around here. But my mom has found them at the home Depot in California. As far as their care, I'm learning. Just amazed at how many some of you have.

They tend to creep up on you and the numbers grow. Especially when you start them from seed.

First, 50 seedling in a seed tray or communal pot become 50 in 2 1/4" pots (for myself), 50 into 4" pots and so on. Space becomes the issue if you do not live in a climate conducent to having them outside all year round. I cannot do this, but it never stops me.

I do not concern myself about letting them go dormant and keep in a South facing window until Spring.

It is a definite passion and I love every minute.

They are definitly beautiful plants. Which makes it very hard to pick the colors. Space and Temps are an issue for me. Our Temps get low, so i have to bring them in and then space becomes an issue. This mornings temp was 45°, Fall will be here shortly. That's why I think I can have 2 maybe 3 more at most.

I started with a couple of grafted . then they were young waited till they bloomeds. I bought a Ten yr old from Tracy and had to have older root stock to graft my branch trimming to. . Have always killed sseeds now I have 3 WK ofld seedling . I started 10 seeds for the community grow out here. I just sold my first and give away to friends.

Your Mom isn't by chance in SJ

It also depends on how much money you have or want to spend. It takes awile for them to grow and then they will go dormant soon. They can sit anywhere above fifty. A litre light would be nice. We do have a liitle sun in winter. My ten year old fits in a 13" pot. But it is already bonsai's. So trading can take smaller pots. Some eve bare root them for more room during the winter

No, she lives in Calaveras county. In fact going down there this weekend to move her up. I haven't met anyone that knows anything about them. I bought one for my friend and she ended up killing it. 10 year old plant, wow! What did that look like? Any photo's? My husband killed my mom's 7 year old one. Gave it a bucket of water during its dormancy

Lots to learn. I did order both of the fertilizers.

I love Tigger bouncey bouncy bouncy

We need a little more info. If you go to "Edit Profile" then to advanced settings you can get private messages and other things. Here is my plant in bloom. It lost it's leaves in transit. That is what it looked like before shipping. They are hardy but can go into shock. That's ok I got a bloom

Very nice! I like Tigger too!

Oh my. 45F in the mornings already?

Unless this is a colder year, we shouldn't see that here until mid-late December.

I'm definitely not ready for that.

You are also in TX Jerry. I was never cool in TX. :-) They ski in Oregon. So it gets cold a lot. That is my concern about her getting young plant right now. Would they be ok? If she buys here in the states maybe. Oversea's takes a bit of time. and they most likely would be bare root maybe even dormant.

My wow was from the fact that Summer isn't even over yet, and it's already 45 there. It's still August!

I am down to 56 at night so she might be higher up then me. I have had to rethink my grafting to my new stock. I want rain more

45° again this morning. I will be bringing them in at 40°, so needless to say I have to start watching the lows. But our highs are stIil high. 100° forecasted for Friday. I will bring them oUT during the day to get sun once the Temps stay low. My house stays at a constant 68° during the winter unless the heater is going.

Mid late December, we are either living in frozen fog for weeks on end (28°) or about 10°-20° At times. But usually in the High 20's low 30's

Adenium's must be brought in 50 and above.

I lived almost my entire life in the North Texas area. I suppose the biggest difference is living this close to a large body of water. I didn't realize it when I first moved, but unless a very strong cold front moves through, we cannot get much cooler than the water in the Gulf of Mexico. (I live on an island that's only about 3 miles wide at its widest point)

As a result, our temperature doesn't fluctuate very much from day to night. The difference is usually about 6-8 degrees.

Still, I'll have at least 2 months of 'inside time' for my plants this year. I fear it's going to be a colder one.

Sounds like I nice place. Yes our weather has a huge fluctuation. As yiu can see by our lows and highs. I have maybe another month. But really have to pay attention.

They will slowly die after being in 40 and up

I agree eeyore. You have to be really careful. I may go nuts with watering mine, and I know that worries others but I get really worried with low temps. Mine usually come in before 45.

Really? 45°? That would be now? :(

But you guys know best.

I just reread that Sorry I was so blunt. I know you are busy with Mom stuff. I just did not want you to loose them. If we could see a pic maybe it can go in a smaller pot.

I recommend letting Rick and some other northerners chime in. I am just really nervous when temps get that low. The first adenium I bought years ago had a tag saying to allow no cooler than 45F, so I've always worried.

I know some people allow them out in cooler temps though, and some cultivars are able to survive almost to freezing. (Not obesum)

Marica, absolutely no worries! All of you are welcomed to tell me what is best. I've only had mine for a year and a half. So really new with them.

Lol, that's alot of experimentation! Purpose, to come up with new ones?

Sometimes, when I close my eyes and it's really, really quiet, I can hear Pagan's plants screaming in agony "we promise we won't grow, just a sip of water, please!!"

Lol

I have a plan, I swear!

I'm glad there are so many different opinions and methods. Sharing our results and methods are what helps each of us to grow. I refer not only to adeniums, but life in general.

Hopefully, my words never offend.

I haven't said it lately, but I love all of you, my brothers and sisters.

I'm new to this forum and I see theres a lot of personalities. And the more feed back the better. These plant's are addicting but I'm limited to space so I can't go crazy and my knowledge is little, so i will be learning as I go.

There is NOTHING wrong with limiting your collection. Don't feel badly. It's practical to do so if you don't have the time or the space. Just choose wisely to get what you want. You can always trade or sell something and switch things out if you find something you like more later.

Trying some seeds is a great way to also get plants going very cheaply - I have about 200 seedlings, 200 more seeds germinating now, and one plant so far. You can always sell, trade, or give away extras with friends or local clubs but as mentioned, it's better to think about that in the spring, not so much at the end of summer. ;)

It's still in the 90's here for at least another month. My summers are LONG and I'll see no cool weather until around the end of October. My winter is brief.

200 seeds, that's gonna be a lot of plants, even if not all take! There are so many beautiful ones, it's hard to pick.

Eeyore, you soon get addicted and you stop counting.

Marie

Yes, that's 400 seeds I've started this month in total. But I have thousands of other plants I propagate so 400 is nothing until they get big. I'll be selling most of them off later and hope to have a greenhouse built next summer. For my personal plants I keep for myself though, I only keep a few of my favorites. So, in that way I limit my personal collection.

How far are you from Dothan, Alabama? My daughter will be coming home from the Army (yay!), next year, maybe she can bring some home. She's near savannah for the next 2 weeks.

Sounds like a great collection!

I'm almost an hour north of Athens. She'd be welcome to come by but I mostly only have seedlings (for adeniums) right now. Next year I'll have more to look at. I do have more than 120 hybrids of streptocarpus, and lots of African violets, and orchids, and ... don't get me started. This is your thread! ;)

I used to have a thing for African violets! Well she won't be coming home till next Sept. At that time she'll be back in Alabama. But it's a thought for sure! ;)

Nothing wrong with sharing what you have! So by all means, please share
