5 important care tips for adenium.
1. SOIL:
This is the most important factor for successfully growing adenium. It’s a desert rose and hence prefers a sandy soil. Make sure you have at least 50 per cent sand or perlite mixed in your potting soil.
2: WATERING:
If your soil is really well draining, the frequency of watering does not matter much, like for instance if you have lot of rains in your area, its almost like daily watering. And also make sure, you have good drainage holes in your container. Otherwise, generally watering weekly twice is the general rule for adenium like any other succulent.
3. SUNLIGHT:
This is a very important factor for proper flowering. Adenium needs maximum sunlight and good humidity for flowering and growth. At least 6 hours of direct sunlight is a must!
4. FERTILIZERS:
Most recommend chemical fertilizers like water soluble NPK, but I always use organic ones like simple decomposed cow dung or vermicompost like a handful of it once a month. And during repotting, mixing a tablespoon of steamed bone meal will do the job and induce enormous flowering in all seasons except in it dormant season – that’s winter.
5. PEST CONTROL:
Its commonly affected by sucking pests like aphids, mealy bugs and mites. A weekly spray of 10 ml of neem oil in 1 litre of water will easily control this problem.
