Adding gravel is ok. In fact I put some gravel on the top of the soil to prevent weeds from growing. I added some river sand (those used for construction) in my mixture of black soil and compost. It's ok to prune Adenium regularly. In fact when the branches become straggly, it would be better to prune the branches and let new shoots grow. Add fertilizers after you have pruned, and in no time you will see new shoots and blooms all around the plant.J.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10904882913688765735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173433339346568152.post-2759397832506284602010-11-12T04:00:42.269+08:002010-11-12T04:00:42.269+08:00hii JC,

Your vegies are looking good. I've been reading about your Adenium and really enjoyed that - I've never heard of them before so found it quite interesting. It has such a big stock (?) like Bonsai. I watched your slide show too and saw all of the beautiful flowers you have. WoW!<br />Thanks for visiting my place - I love the company!RainGardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071017261791897927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173433339346568152.post-30307965956418405912010-08-03T15:21:34.351+08:002010-08-03T15:21:34.351+08:00The last time I pruned my little adenium... it nea...The last time I pruned my little adenium... it nearly rotted as well.

To get Adenium with big caudex, it would require propagation from seed. Would you be keen to get some seeds to try? My Adenium has grown seed pod. If you want some seed, I can mail them to you. Just e-mail me your address. But hope you don't mind to wait for some time for the pod to grow and burst.J.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10904882913688765735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173433339346568152.post-73579114365827403252010-08-02T14:19:00.682+08:002010-08-02T14:19:00.682+08:00Did you in anyway tried propagated with any of the...Did you in anyway tried propagated with any of the pruned ones?<br />I had tried with one and it worked but not all will survive.James Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423981835876393119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173433339346568152.post-81830056845999384442010-08-02T10:20:08.512+08:002010-08-02T10:20:08.512+08:00Your collection of Adeniums look really pretty!
