COLIBYOUDesert Rose， Adenium Obesum one Year Plant ， Baby Size Bonsai Caudex (1 Rose)

Quality came in what I appears plant health is goodAlready germinated and growing leavesVery young plant. Trunk is still green and small. Which is fine. More time to watch it grow imo. I would recommend a Muzhi pot or something to retain moisture and heat as well as a premium bonsai soil mix to protect against root rot.

My desert rose died within a week!!! Sad - wish they would send me another one free of charge

Plant arrived today in beautiful shape. Thank you for fast delivery.

Patience is valuable when ordering this plant. Mine arrived healthy but with only one leaf. I planted it in good potting soil/6 inch pot (assuring good drainage) and have kept it moist under a grow light. So far, it is progressing nicely and has about a dozen healthy appearing leaves on it. I love plants but have never attempted to grow this one. I am starting w/3 stars but will up (or down) grade the rating as it evolves. To be continued...

The media could not be loaded. It’s been 3 years now, and 3 replanting later I’ve not been able to get a bloom. The plant has always been healthy. It has been fertilized on a regular schedule. So far, I’ve been unable to produce blooms. Starting to question cloning practices.

When I first received these plants, I was questioning whether they were even alive. They were wrapped in bubble wrap with a bare bulb. No leaves, nothing. It requires a bit of patience but I did some reading up on this plant and did the following.1) I let them sit out in a semi lit area for a couple of days after I unwrapped them from the bubble wrap.2) I'd read that they needed quick draining soil. For all of my house plants, most of which are hoyas, I use a base of FoxFarm Ocean Forest Organic Potting soil, however, depending on the plant I mix other things in that are specific to whatever plant. For planting these desert roses I mixed in the Fox Farm, and put in approximately 1/3 of the mix with perlite. Also, I added a small amount of black sand and a small amount of aquarium activated charcoal. I'd read that they need fast draining mix as they don't like sitting in water drenched soil.3) After potting them up, I didn't water them for a few days to let them acclimate. Also, gradually moved them towards the brighter light by the window. In their permanent place, they now sit in a window that gets bright sunlight basically from morning till late afternoon.4) After letting them sit in the dry mix for about 4 days, I watered them with Maxsea 722250 Plant Food. Please note, I use Maxsea on all of my houseplants (tropicals, hoyas, mostly, but some cactus type plants, as well) with wonderful results. However, I do NOT follow the directions on the container for mixing. On the container it directs people, that feed houseplants every watering, to use 1/2 teaspoon per gallon. I've learned over trial and error, with all fertilizers, this is too strong for my plants and cut it in half. I use every watering, 1/4 teaspoon per gallon. I also soak my plants in the fertilized water for about 20 minutes. All of my plants require quick draining soil, so they're only saturated for about 20 minutes, and then I let them drain.I must say, after a couple of weeks of waiting to see some signs of life, I was starting to wonder if I'd just planted some duds. I'm trying to remember but I don't think I even saw the start of sprigs coming out of the bulb until 3 or so weeks after the planting. It's now the last day of May and I'd received these on April 6, so my pictures probably reflect the growth I've seen in the last 4 weeks after I first saw the sprigs start to develop on the bulbs. My suggestion would be to be really patient with waiting for the first signs of life. I'm really looking forward to seeing flowers on these plants. I'm pleased with this purchase.

It came without a flower. If that is ok, buy it. It does not look at all like the picture.
