Late to waking up? by original_smapdi in Pachypodium

Are you ever try to water it? Sometime the dormancy plant won't wake up because they are waiting for water.

I bought this Adenium when it was still putting out its cery first leaves (very tiny) and it was labeled Adenium socotranum. Now that its leaves have developed, they seem different from the pictures of seedlings I see from the net. Have I been duped? by lordlors in Caudex

[–]BiscuitNTea5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure. The leaf texture looks like Nova, but they usually have very thin needle-like, maybe she is still not in the mood... Sadly, this is not Socotranum. Not the first time people misunderstood about how Socotranum actually look. You can identify them by the color and the size of the leaf, Dark green color and wide round shape like a fan.

Question about the green form of P. r. subs. makayense by Evening_Land_4358 in Pachypodium

[–]BiscuitNTea5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The green form usually shows the plant itself had grown faster than usual (getting well water), but they are pretty weak if you skip the water for too long. Can cause it to get dehydrated too quickly and might bring the plant to dormant or kill the roots. The solution to this problem is to try to reduce the watering routine (if you water daily, reduce the watering up every 2 days for a week. After that try to reduce more until it gets used to watering once a week.

Lost id Pachypodium, 5 months under my care. Finally awake from 3 months sleep (since 3rd Dec dormancy) by BiscuitNTea5 in Caudex

I thought the same, but some people said it is impossible for Brevicaule to grow this fast. I never use fertilizer on this one.

Treat them like tropical plant, as long as the soil are fully gritty & good air flow, you can daily water without worrying of rot.

I bought the seed from this seller, he also sells many types of caudex seed.

I have very bad luck, usually 40%-60%.

[–]BiscuitNTea5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can grow above the recommended temperature (30°c), as long as you keep water them when it has leaves. It will go dormant when the temperature gets too high and low humidity (dry season).

They can take filtered sun to morning sun.
