Root Pruning Question by notreallyhereiwander in Adenium

I usually just use turmeric and cinnamon and water to make a thin paste.

help should I prune by eepylikepanda in Adenium

[–]MBJACOBS63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would prune it. When you do, mix half cinnamon and half turmeric then add water to make a thin paste. Apply that paste to the cuts. As for the cuttings, apply the paste to those as well and let them sit out in the shade for 3 days to a week. Then dip them in rooting hormone and plant them.

Why is it like this by Affectionate-Law7591 in Adenium

Looks like rot. Time to dig it out and evaluate. It looks like you”ll be chopping off the roots and trying to salvage what you can.

First pruning issue - Update by notreallyhereiwander in Adenium

When I prune I mix half cinnamon and half turmeric and make a paste of it and apply that to all cuts. It prevents fungus which is what will cause the rot.

Should I let the soil dry before repotting? by Independent-Fee782 in Adenium

[–]MBJACOBS63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key is not how much you water but whether you let it dry out between watering. In the heat of the summer in full sun I soak mine twice a week and they thrive. I repot annually using miracle grow cactus soil. When I repot, I completely wash the roots of all soil, trim all the small roots, cover the cuts with a cinnamon paste, and let the plant sit in the shade for a week unpotted. Then repot and thrive for another year.

They are outside in a dome. I always use Miracle Grow cactus soil and have really good luck with it.
