"weighs as much as a toddler, and requires much less care"-🤣🤣🤣Those basalt pots are a great alternative to terra cotta. The white ones are a nice contrast too. This video reminded me of the mandrake potting scene from Harry Potter.

Yes! I don’t feel so alone! You use broken terracotta for blocking soil and good drainage. I learned this from my grandmother. ❤️ 🪴 So much good information!

Like your video right away ! Good story and your video is recorded like a pro ( relaxing n doesn’t give me a headache like others :-). Thanks !

Love your videos!!! Thank you for showing us how to care for these beauties!!!

Have you tried growing Adeniums (desert rose) before? What were your experiences?

I'm really surprised you don't create your own pots for you beautiful adeniums. I looked at your ceramic page. You have beautiful pieces.

Repetative repoting is the best. Anxiety is definitely why I started gardening. I can't relax enough to meditate consistently, so gardening gives me all the peace I need to relax and centre myself. Your videos are also very relaxing 😌 I did some winter salad sowing while watching. I gave up my Adenium to my mother in law last March when I traded all my toxic plants when I got rabbits that roam free in my house. Now I'm curious which variety it was but the low maintenance wasn't for me. I love more interactive succulents which need to be trimmed and shaped every few months. I treat them like low maintenance bonsais. Yours look so beautiful! I'll be taking some seeds to my mum in Cuba when covid allows, great weather for them rather than here in Scotland. Will send her your vid to show them how nice they get 💜

Now I wanna grow adeniums from seed extra bad lol❤. Growing from seed is so much fun 😫❤. I love watching things grow and it's fun to share some of the babies or sell for extra cash. Would love to run a nursery outta my backyard one day lmao.

Definitely subscribing. Your voice is calming and your cute af. Why have I not seen your videos pop up before.

Hello, what was the purple flower in the opening video?

I love your garden🌿! Thank you🍃

might need to trim the branches to 2 inches to get more flowers

I lost a couple of desert roses during winter of 2023 but the rest of my desert roses survived being left outside. They are tough.

Love your Chanel, so informative and relaxing to listen😀 Kim🌸🍂

My story is basically the same as yours. A few years ago I purchased 100 Adenium seeds and grew them with about 90% success. Over the years I have gifted them to family and friends or sold them online. Today, after watching your video I'm going to up pot the few I have left but I have a question. When do you prune and shape the growth? Is it something I can do today in the Fall or is it best left to Spring? I live in Canada. The plants are outside in full sun during the Summer months and indoors under grow lights through the Winter.

Beautiful flowers

I'm both a "liker" and subscriber from Lake Charles, LA, so subtropical with only about 3-4 nights per year below 32 degrees. Even then, it invariably warms to the 40's or 50's the following day. Conveniently, I have a heated room next to my patio where I can scoot them in that event. Just to be on the safe side, I'll bring them inside when the temp's go below about 45 degrees. I have 5 Adenium obesums and 2 A. Arabicums that I got from Internet vendors last year. They're only about 5-6 tall, but old enough to flower. Any ideas? It's now 5/16/23 at 5:00 P.M. and it's 85 degrees and sunny. I've given them about 6 hours of direct sun today already and fed them lightly 2 days ago. Happy gardening! 🌱🪴

thank you!

I enjoyed this video very much🤗. I would like to cultivate some of these and hope it is possible in Chapel Hill NC. Love the pots and do have them in my favorite garden shop. Your video will be very helpful when I decide to grow this beautiful plant. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you

Thanks for sharing.

Your voice narrating has anti anxiety quality too! And I have little luck with adenium unfortunately, always gets black leaves... sigh...

very good vidio..friend.. thank you

I really enjoyed your video! I have several seedlings that I just repotted and I was hoping to find good info on what to do next. Thanks for the soil recipe! I love those kind of pots too. What did you call them?

How do you gauge the size of the new pot for repotting? Also -deep or shallow?

14:08 has me feeling some type of way

Hi,really enjoyed your video on Adeniums. I have recently moved to Thailand where this plant is very popular in containers in gardens. I was wondering if it is possible to plant one in the open ground bearing in mind the wet season here between June and September? Thanks.

Pretty poison😊😊

"Mini chubby forest" 🙂

Hi what your 3 product that was used for repotting. Thank you

Thank you for another great video. Just to throw an idea at you, have you ever made Hypertufa pots? Its a light weight concrete mix in which you can create your own pots and it is a very easy project.

Where u got expanded shale? Thanks

Congrats! Your Desert Roses are gorgeous! So healthy and happy. A friend sent me 3 Desert Rose Plants, instead of all the Hoya cuttings. It was a box label mix-up. One did not look good from shipping. They were sent bare root during a cold spell. It didn't make it. The other two are doing good. I have them on my front porch. I throughly water them when they are dry. They have grown back a lot of leaves. The problem I am having is the caudexes are soft. I thought maybe the root system has not completely developed yet and they are dehydrated. Any suggestions? Thanks! 😎

Love all of your videos! Do you bring these guys inside during winter by the way? I went and got one for myself after watching your video! I am in DFW area.

I just discovered your channel. Great videos! I have been growing a rather large desert rose. Currently She's in 14" terra cotta pot. It's never once flowered and I have had her for over a decade. I've tried everything: lot of sun and little water, lot of sun and plenty of water, fertilize and not fertilize. Pot bound and repotting in a larger pot. She grows lot of foliage during growing season and drops most of the leaves when I bring her back inside during winter months. Do you have any advise what else I can try? Thanks a bunch!

have you ever used the netting they have out to keep the soil from coming through and losing it? works good

Really enjoyed this video, one of my favourites but never tried to grow it but might order some Seeds and try growing a plant :)

where are you located?

Maria says if you do not allow your plants to dry for SIX WEEKS before repotting, it will get root rot, and eventually die. Did you experience any of that, after repotting your plants? She shows a plant that she handled exactly the way you have, for a test, to show what had happened when she repotted it right after removing it from its original pot. And it had begun to rot. This lady has thousands of Desert Roses, and is quite the authority when it comes to their care, and its roots were rotted. I'd like to know how your plants turned out. They might appear as doing okay for a while, yet under the soil, they are quietly rotting away. Why would this lady go to all the effort to repot her plants the way she does, when it would be so much easier to do what you have done? I bet you eventually discovered that all your plants began to suffer and eventually died. Can you do an update on these beautiful plants you repotted in this video? I would certainly be very interested to learn the outcome, because we would all love to be able to repot them the way you have. But alas, according to Maria, what you have done, adds up to a slow, lingering death, for every one of your Desert Roses. So, if that is truly what became of your plants, now you understand what you did incorrectly. And thank you for your video...which might just be exactly WHAT NOT TO DO when it comes to repotting the beautiful Desert Rose! Keep trekking...into the mystic. kristi

😴😴

Those pots are way too small...those plants deserve to grow onto beautiful bushes with multiple branches...sad...
