If it is for me to make a decision, I will cut the lower branch, saving all my main energy of the plant to care for the scion. After the scion take, than if new branch come out, you can keep it, and later graft more color on to it.

Please post a picture or pictures for us to see. It is kinda late into the year, but nothing to loose if you don't try.

Good luck.

I would also cut the lower branches. I am a novice at grafting adeniums and haven't done that many but they seem to take more easily then other plants I've tried.

I might be tempted to wait until March to try your grafts just in case you have another unusually cool winter. It was cold as &*%! down there a couple years ago. I'm used to the occasional cool winter day in S. FL but it was cold for weeks at a time. I felt like I was back home instead of in West Palm!

Here is a picture of one of my seedlings that I grafted yesterday (main stem only).

This is a picture of the graft close-up.

I noticed after grafting it's not covered up to keep moisture in. Also leaving the huge leaves on may cause the scion to lose too much water.

May I know if the graft is sucessful?

Any pic?
