Rick what NPK are you using on the flowering cycle

Dyna Gro Pland Pro 9-3-6.

The one thing I started to do with my plants already having produced buds was to start feeding them some of the Liquid Kelp 0-0-4 that I had.

This all came about with conversation I had with Hyn for another plant I have. Thought it would be worth a try. Not sure if it changed anything.

Used the same fertilizer 9-3-6 for quite a few years now and had good blooms.

This is another which I just love and color holds so nicely. Black Pearl.

The one thing I have done this Summer is have all my plants under 60% Shade cloth. So far most of the Yellows, Purple/Blacks have kept their color for much longer and oddly produced on average more blooms.

All things that I will not know unless I make changes next year.

Thanks mate im going to change things up this year for the last 5years been doing the same thing with average blooms i lost heaps of yearlings this winter got caught up in the addiction could not house them got 300 plus seedlings under lights im going to be more selective this season just wish i could get grafts (dont rub it in Agartta)lol :×)

I am not up on where different locals are in Australia.

Can you get Grafted plants from Sandy in Australia.

Sandy is wonderful and has been grafting and growing Adeniums for a very long time. Has some wonderful hybrids she has produced and Grafted them.

Peter, I think you can get some nice plants from RImports when u ready, they need an order of about 5 plants and they do the quarantine test on them. They stopped selling them till late September.

Thanks Agartta i have to sort out the ones i have here when i find out the colour of the mass amount of yearlings but its not off the cards what's 5 add up to about 200 bills

Its an investment of good plants if ever RI stops importing

I get what you mean i will have to save

I love the dark color!
