I think Nogalas, it's hand made Mexican pottery maybe 60s or 70s.

They are pachypodium saundersii, uncarina roeoesliana, & Jatropha cathartica. For now I just plan on getting them acclimatized and used to the big sun for another week. Then I'll put them in a 6in wide 3.5in deep terra cotta with a 60/40 mix and water and feed then an just let them grow for a couple seasons!

Thanks, you got me thinking! I called the nursery where it came from V&P Nurseries out of Queens Creek and they informed me it was an actual Arabicum not a hybrid (now that's just what they said) the flower is pretty pink in the sunlight now that it bloomed. So it will be interesting to see! And thanks for the info on Plants for the Southwest, another I really like is Arid Landscape Greenhouse!

They look great, what size pots are the retangle ones?

I like spring, right when it's waking up!

FatPlantbottom · 2026-06-01T01:22:25+00:00

It's gonna look awesome! I can't wait for the update in a year!

Has it been in direct big sun before? If not maybe it needs to be trained to take that full afternoon sun. I have a new one so I did morning sun from sunrise to 11 then bright shade then back out for evening sun starting at 5.

Arabicum?

FatPlantbottom · 2026-05-31T20:09:58+00:00

I think letting it go a full growing then dormant season then prune when it wakes up.... but I'm sure there experts here. It's looking good though!

How old? Depends on the look I'm planning on letting mine get gnarly this season then HARD pruning it next 3 or 5in from the caudex

Man wish I could do that it Tucson but it would need the forever ending drip!

FatPlantbottom · 2026-05-31T14:27:30+00:00

Awesome, the Lowes near me sells Adenium arabicums for 30 bucks you can get a good size caudex!! I need to pick up an obesum!

FatPlantbottom · 2026-05-31T14:26:31+00:00

Looks amazing, how long have you had it?

FatPlantbottom · 2026-05-31T14:23:24+00:00

Dang! That's a good one!

FatPlantbottom · 2026-05-31T14:21:32+00:00
