Adenium obesum is worthy of being called "Rose". Its flowers are bright. Each one looks like a brilliant rose. It has a special spirit at home.
The reason why it is called "desert" rose is not because it grows in the desert, but because it is very drought resistant. It has thick branches and a big belly under it. All the water stored in it is water. It's ok if you don't water it for a month.
Not only that, because Adenium obesum is similar to the shape of old pile and bonsai. It's more interesting and valuable to raise.
Maybe some flower friends don't know Adenium obesum very well. They always have a period of adaptation to new things. Today, flower will introduce the conservation knowledge of Adenium obesum.
Adenium obesum can be sown and propagated by cutting. After blooming, it will produce long seed pods. When the seed pods are mature, it can be sown. Now Adenium obesum is very expensive. If you raise seed pods, you can earn it.
Adenium obesum is good for sowing. In spring and autumn, poke a few small holes at the bottom of a plastic cup. Decorate the soil inside. After wetting, gently bury the seeds inside and put them in the shade of the house. After sprouting leaves, they start to bask in the sun and grow up soon.
Adenium obesum can also be cutted, no matter the branches on it or the fat piles after the roots are cut off after rotten roots are planted in the sandy soil (the soil with many grains). When the soil is dry, spray the wet soil surface, without watering, or it will rot.
It should be noted that Adenium obesum will have a big belly when it is sown. If you want to raise a big belly Adenium obesum, you can choose to sow it.
The soil of Adenium obesum is very important. Novices recommend using granular soil and sandy soil instead of fine sand. Use coarse sand (after sterilization). You can also buy some volcanic stone and perlite to mix in the soil, or use coal cinder to soak water and remove fire gas to mix in the soil.
Because the root system of Adenium obesum is short, and it is still a succulent plant, it is easiest to rot its roots and leaves because of too much water, or because the soil is impermeable. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the permeability and permeability of the soil, so as to live a long and healthy life, with more leaves and flowers.
Adenium obesum is very fond of light, so it should be kept in a bright place at home, usually near the south balcony and South windowsill. In addition to the summer can not be exposed to the sun, other seasons can be sun, especially in winter, more warm sun.
Adenium obesum is very drought resistant. If it doesn't bloom, you can water it once every 30-40 days. Of course, very few hot areas in the South may water it once every 1-2 weeks. After all, the evaporation is great. When flowering, water once a half month, and pay attention to ventilation after pouring, and do not accumulate moisture in the basin.
How to accurately grasp the frequency of watering also depends on the soil. If the soil you use is loose, and the water evaporates and loses quickly, you should water it more frequently. If the soil is strong in water retention, and the fingers are inserted every few days, or it is damp, you should water less and strengthen ventilation.
Adenium obesum can bloom twice a year or so. Some flower friends can bloom for half a year, but some people don't bloom for the following reasons: lack of light, more water, no fertilizer.
Adenium obesum is very fond of light. If you want to bloom, you need to fully bask in the sun, keep the light for more than 4 hours a day, and control the water at the same time, so as to stimulate its flowering instinct. For example, if you water it once in the previous half month, and now you water it once in 20-30 days, it will bloom and survive.
Fertilization is also very necessary in spring and autumn. If you want to raise a stake, use huaduo No.1 (compound fertilizer) and huaduo No.2 (phosphate fertilizer) if you want to speed up the flower. The method of use is to pour it into water, once every 10-15 days, and stop when there is a flower bud.
The newly bought leaves are normal, and the leaves are normal when changing seasons, but it may be that there is too much water. Pay attention to water control and don't toss it. If the branches have dried up, cut them off and the leaves will appear again.
Adenium obesum is fleshy. If you feel it soft, you may be short of water, or the soil is airtight. Please water it or change the soil. It's also possible that it's hot in summer. It's too hot, so it's weak. Let it cool down.
Many people raise Adenium obesum. They water them every day like other flowers. Of course, they are easy to rot. if the rotten roots are dug out and the rotten parts are cut off, they must be cut clean, dusted with carbendazim powder for sterilization, and then cut with sand again.
