Can I prune the Adenium in the summer?
This is also possible, but we also advise against it because Summer is the growing season. If you do it anyway you can expect the plant to grow or bloom very little in the summer. We always recommend pruning the plant in early fall or starting in mid-spring.

An Adenium lives for decades. So you do not have to worry that your well-cared-for Adenium will not live long.

How do I make sure my Adenium will bloom?

The Adenium can begin blooming in winter, and continues all the way through fall. So it is a very long bloomer!

Around winter and spring, you can prune the Adenium by taking off the dead parts. Shoots that have grown too long you can also prune back.
Can the Adenium be planted from seed?
Yes, when a fertilized (mature) Adenium gives off seeds, those when harvested fresh can be used to grow new Adeniums.
When can the seeds be harvested from the Adenium?
It takes several years for an Adenium to begin yielding seeds. The older the Adenium, the better the quality of the seeds. To harvest the seeds, we do not recommend picking the seeds off the plant. Instead, it is best to put a bag around the Adenium to catch the seeds as they are released from the plant. This is necessary because otherwise they will fly into the air.
What kind of soil does the Adenium need?
We recommend using soil with an airy structure and provided with basic nutrient elements. For this we recommend Florentus Mediterranean nutrient soil. This contains everything the plant needs except supplemental nutrients.
Why are my Adenium leaves yellow? Why are the leaves falling off?
There can be several causes of the leaves turning yellow or falling off. The main causes are malnutrition, overwatering or underwatering. Check that the root ball is moist but not soaking wet. And if the soil is poor in nutrients or you've never supplemented, we recommend supplementing with Ultra Focus, a complex nutrient for Mediterranean plants.
Why isn't my Adenium blooming?
The main cause for an Adenium not blooming is that the plant is not getting enough light. Make sure it has a sunny spot. Another cause can be that the plant is still recovering from e.g. repotting or pruning, if this has been done.
Where is the best place to buy an Adenium?
To this question we have a very simple answer. Teeninga Palms is a specialist in hardy Mediterranean plants and trees, offering them at the lowest price and the highest quality, so the choice is easy!
Our plant sizes are determined by measuring the smallest plants up until the largest in a field with hundreds of plants. Because a plant is a natural product, it's possible a plant is a little smaller than the mentioned minimum size.
This deviation is 10cm maximum. In our guidelines we keep a margin of max. 10cm regarding the minimum size.
Note: when you order a plant that doesn't stay green in the winter, it's probably (when ordered during the winter months or the beginning spring season) smaller than the minimum size. This is not a problem in any case, because the plant will grow new branches or leaves and the minimum height will be reached within a short period. Your order will have the right size within a short time.
