Rest period after blooming?

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago

My Adenium obesum plant has bloomed its little head off this year, and I've been very happy with it. It's about to end its latest bloom. We've had unreal temperatures up to 102 lately, with no rain, so low humidity, just the type of weather they seem to like. Up until this heat wave, I've been fertilizing it lightly once a week with bloom fertilizer, but would it be wise to stop fertilizing it and let it rest awhile?

On the upside, I see a few signs that I may actually get seeds, so I'm keeping it watered. I often wish I had kept the pink one instead of this, and since pink is the predominant color of open-pollinated seedlings, I'm praying hard for seeds.
