A really informative video - definitely has given me confidence in trying out root training for my own young adenium plants. Before now I had only seen people using specialist fungicide powders to apply to the cut caudex, so to see that plain cinnamon works too is great. Thanks!

I know some people are against using cinnamon, but I find it works really well for me.

nice video! I can see that a lot of effort went into this one. Keep up the good work.

Thank you very much.

you have shown me. more today than anyone else that I have watched on here about dessert rose plant I'm trying to find out myself how to grow them from seeds and go from there about water and fertilizer and how much heat they should have thanks again

Good video! I want to start developing my radial roots coming spring. You said you cut one clean vs more of a bevel on the others, which do you recommend?

I think any will be fine as the result was pretty much the same for each method.

This is the first time I heard of a caudex and its training. I only have 2 pots of adenium from my late mum and that was the one that I tried to plant from its cuttings. Now I know what to do to get the caudex bigger. Mine from cuttings was long and lean smh. The bigger caudex makes better adenium bonsai. Thanks for the video 👍

It will take some years to fatten the caudex/stem up but when you develop radial roots instead of a single, large, fat taproot, the process should speed up slightly.

Toby, can I ask a question? I have 1 surviving seedling from 10 planted seeds. It is 48 days old, with 4 leaves. These seeds were planted in peat. I can't seem to move this seedling along? Can I fertilise it at all. It is kept in shade outside. I live in Brisbane. I would like to send a photo of it?

It wouldn’t hurt to fertilise slightly, you can send a photo to me at this address: Jin_Toby@outlook.com

I would wait for at least 1 full growing season before I repot the seedlings, unless there's a health reason on why they need to be repotted.

Thank you. What country are you in?

I can see when you water your seedlings it doesn't drain very wrong dear

OMG: Use a Sharp Tool to Cut! A dull scissor won’t cut it.

I usually sharpen my cutting tools once before every growing season but it's probably that I just use them a lot and they become dull very quickly.

Do you have updates?

No, unfortunately I didn't record an update of them this season. I may do a video on them next season as I haven't done an update on my Adeniums in a while.
