Adenium Bilektisuit Light:
- Sunlight: Adeniums thrive in full sunlight. Place them in a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
- Indoor Placement: If grown indoors, provide a sunny south or west-facing window.
Temperature:
- Warmth: Maintain warm temperatures between 70-100°F (21-38°C) during the day.
- Cold Protection: Protect Adeniums from temperatures below 50°F (10°C), as they are sensitive to cold.
Soil:
- Well-Draining Mix: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. You can add perlite or sand to improve drainage.
- Container: Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
Watering:
- Allow Drying: Water sparingly and allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
- Winter Dormancy: Reduce watering during the winter months when the plant is mostly dormant.
Humidity:
- Low Humidity: Adeniums are adapted to low humidity and do not require high levels.
Pot and Repotting:
- Shallow Container: Use a shallow pot to accommodate the plant’s shallow root system.
- Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its current container. Repot in the spring using fresh, well-draining soil.
Fertilizing:
- Balanced Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer).
- Reduce in Winter: Reduce or stop fertilizing in the fall and winter.
Pruning:
- Selective Pruning: Prune selectively to shape the plant and encourage branching.
- Remove Dead Material: Remove dead or yellowing leaves and spent flowers.
Pests and Diseases:
- Common Pests: Watch for pests such as aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
- Air Circulation: Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
Dormancy:
- Winter Rest: Adeniums may experience a period of winter dormancy. During this time, reduce watering and withhold fertilizer until the growing season resumes.
Handling:
- Toxic Sap: Be cautious when handling, as the sap of Adeniums can be toxic and may cause skin irritation.
