I love Adeniums for their interesting forms & beautiful flowers & have been growing 1 on my patio. This is all about repotting my Adenium obesum, aka Desert Rose, into a low, wide bowl. See the materials used & steps taken.
It was true love when the Adenium my dad grew in the greenhouse bloomed for the 1st time.
What was this gorgeous plant with the twisting branches and the trumpet-shaped flowers? So exotic!
Many moons later, after 1 year in Boston, 7 years in New York City and 30 years in California, I now have 1 of my own at my (relatively) new home in Tucson.
I want to walk you through the simple steps to and tell you why I’m repotting my Adenium, aka Desert Rose.
Remove the adenium from the grow pot. I did this by turning the plant on its side & gently stepping on the grow pot. I came right out like a dream!
Put the coffee filter over the drain holes & add in the mix to the desired depth.
Place the adenium in the pot.
Fill in with the rest of the mix & a couple of small handfuls of compost.
Let the plant settle in for a couple of days before watering.
