Repotting My Beautiful Adenium (Desert Rose)

Repotting My Adenium aka Desert Rose

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.

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!

Here’s the mix I use which is nice & chunky. It consists of prococo coconut coir chips, pumice & compost – adeniums love it!

Put the Coffee Filter Over the Drain Holes & Add in the Mix to the Desired Depth.

Repotting is best done during the growing season, not while it’s dormant.

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.

I love my Adenium and can’t wait to see it grow and develop into a fascinating form. In the video, I said that I would show an Adenium which retails for $1400 but I was mistaken. Oops – it’s selling for $4000. Isn’t that baby fabulous?!
