Adenium











This gorgious looking ADENIUM (desert lily) is around 10 years old plant. Normaly in the BONSAI world, "Adenium" is not consider as bonsai plant, but our city "Ahmedabad" is next to desert so, this plant is surviving better than the other plants. In our city maximum tempreture goes up to 48degree in summers and rain during entire year is just 30 inches.

Where "Adenium" lives happily with lots of flowers every year. I am 99% sure that in Ahmedabad city every bonsai lover will have this plant , even most of the nursery men consider this plant as BONSAI PLANT. So, we are enjoying with this.

When i purchase this plant it was very slim and trim with age of around two years, i had just put this plant in a deep mud pot. After that we were enjoying it's beautiful flowers for 3 to 4 years. Than after i realized that it's codex becomes very big and i have to do something so, i transfer this plant in big cement pot (which is in the dark last picture) , till that i was not aware to see it's codex beauty in the cello ceramic pot. But our master had given me a hint to repot it in the oval shape ceramic pot with giving triangular shape.. so, i had done it. (see the second last picture).

After 1 month of repotting in ceramic pot i had chopped all the branches, and new suits came quickly after chopping within 20 days. I had put one more small adenium with this , to show big identity of that big adenium. Even this idea shows the concept of MOTHER AND BABY plant.

I am hoping to see it's flowers again in this pot. and at that time, i will click some other photes and will show you.
