Every time I move or transplant them they seem to go dormant.<br /><br />I would transplant them young and be VERY careful not to damage the root. Keep as much dirt on the root as you can and maybe 'cut' a soil cube out as opposed to pulling out the seedlings.<br /><br />Other than the dormancy they seem to be easy. I haven't lost any since I initially culled the seedlings. I mist them every morning and evening because I've had some mite problems. If you don't need to mist, don't.<br /><br />Hopefully that was helpful and if you have any more questions just ask. They should germinate quickly. Good luck!Aaerelonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04129994850811861751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357482105288753344.post-39034070036747227162010-03-09T22:16:10.278-05:002010-03-09T22:16:10.278-05:00Planted 130 assorted Adenium seed 03-08-10.

Most should be similar to the mother, but I'm already seeing some variation.Aaerelonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04129994850811861751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357482105288753344.post-70231915334070256772010-01-28T22:34:26.825-05:002010-01-28T22:34:26.825-05:00Nicely grown!

Since the plant is grow outside in a pot, it is prone to mealy bugs. So must be sprayed. But, when in bloom, gorgeous!Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497874766764411664noreply@blogger.com
