2. Can we use other Rosy Adeniums instead of “Dox Xon”? - Yes, you can. Mostly I like to use “Dox Xon” because her cultivar is pretty stable, not made much more change flower character of single petal adenium’s mother itself. I used to switch to put pollen from single petal Adenium in Rosy Adenium : Dox Xon or others and found that the flower styles are almost the same as original Rosy

Adenium mothers, not come up with many styles but you can get more about 40% become Rosy Adeniums. That’s why I don’t like to do with this way.

3. Now we are success with making Rosy Adeniums but they are not so nice or colorful flowers just plain Rosy Adenium. How can we produce better looking and more attractive Rosy Adeniums? - The answer is very simple. First, you have to have very nice and attractive single petal adenium in your pocket. This is a key to success of making nice Rosy Adeniums. We have started producing

many single petal adeniums since 2005 and until now we have over 200 different flowers. That means if you have big pocket with full of nice single petal adeniums so you can also produce many nice Rosy Adeniums with many attractive styles. We have a lot of many single petal styles so that means we have many choices to choose single petal adeniums in order to do crossing with Rosy Adenium. We always imagine what final flower outcome would be before start crossing each other. Please remember, the key of success with making attractive Rosy Adenium is nice Single Petal Adenium itself, not Rosy Adenium.

4. How do we take care of seed pods until we can harvest their seeds and grow them? - This is also very important thing because you will get nothing if you cannot get seeds to grow Rosy Adenium seedlings. Sometimes, seed pods are broken off before they are ripe because of changable weather, insects, lack of nutrient, etc. Here below is our techniques; First, we need to prepare adeniums as parents very healthy and let them give more flowers

Just keep crossing and crossing with your imagination and you will get many new flowers styles.

before making crossing each other. We use cow manure mixed with the soil You will see adeniums much more healthy and stronger e.g. more fresh green leaves and caudex. After that stop watering with water for a week, then mix the flower or orchid fertilizer and watering instead of water on 2nd week for 3 days consecutively. On 3rd week, you will see many flowers coming up. Waiting for 2nd day of blooming to make crossing. When you do crossing, make sure your equipment or tools are clean and pollen from real father not mix with pollen from mother plants. After adeniums give baby seed pods, you need to spray them with “Calcium” and “Boron” chemical on leaves and seed pods once a week. This can help seed pods very strong and big seeds (higher germination rate). ok, this is our some of main ideas of it. There are many more ideas or tips I would like to share. Enjoy growing and developing nice adeniums and have a nice day.
