8 years old adenium

9 years ago

This adenium was planted in a big container and left outside of my house. Not much care were given to it until a year ago when I decided to repot it. I was surprise to see that it has grown with a huge caudex when the soil were remove. It is now sitting in a 12 inches bonsai pot.

There is a small damage to the caudex on top near the pot. I will prune the branches a little and wait for it to bloom.

Hello Tony, goodness me how on earth did you stabilise that, guess the pot is heavy? Great job!
Have some of those fine roots dried up through not being in contact with the soil? I would be there with my trusty scalpel shaving them off clean with the caudex. They soon heal and leave no scars as personally I prefer a clean-shaven look, (on a plant, not my d/h!) maybe just leaving the pencil thick ones alone. Just my own opinion...if it were mine....I wish it was BTW, lol!!
Did you grow it yourself or was it bought as a plant?
