Adenium (Desert Rose)

QUESTION:
Have you ever tried to transplant Adenium (Desert Rose) from soil into LECA.
Thanks

ANSWER:

Yes - it works well.

Couple of tips -

1. Choose a small grow pot because we want the plant to dry out quickly.
2. Careful with the water. Just run water through the pebbles at the sink once a week or so. Return plant to outer pot with no standing water at the base.
3. These plants don't support many leaves so no worries if it sheds leaves - they will grow back.
4. Desert Rose need lots of light with some direct sun. Partial shade outdoors though.

Good Luck!

Do you mix nutrients with your water for the run through for the desert rose? If so, what and how?
Thanks!
