Arabicum and Thai Socos are  fast growers with good cold tolerance down to 32 degrees when not wet.
Adeniums are native to Sahel regions, south of the Sahara from Mauritania & Senegal to Sudan and tropical and subtropical eastern and southern Africa & Arabia. It is excellent in pots especially for people who kill everything because Adeniums live with very little care and can take a good deal of neglect.
They will become larger, more interesting and more valuable every year with some attention. Most flowering occurs during the spring and fall but flowering can occur any month of the year if it is in a warm, sunny location.
Adeniums love warm weather and most will drop their leaves and go dormant during the cooler months.
Adeniums are easily brought inside and grown as houseplants during the winter months in cold areas and will even bloom if put near a sunny window or under lights or you can allow them to go dormant.
If leaves and buds drop due to shipping, don't panic, they often do this and will come right back. Changes in temperature and conditions can cause leaves to drop. Adeniums like plenty of light, at least 6 hours of full sun,then filtered afternoon sun is how I grow mine in Florida. Use a loose, well draining potting mix and water when almost dry. Time release or other balanced fertilizer can be applied in the spring. In winter, cut back on water and do not fertilize while they are dormant.
Obesums need protection from temperatures below 45 degrees and Arabicums and Thai Soco below 32 degrees.
Seedlings(first year) protect below 50.
Shipping:
WINTER TEMPERATURES MUST BE ABOVE 45 DEGREES FOR OBESUMS AND ABOVE 32 DEGREES FOR ARABICUMS FOR ME TO SHIP. IN WINTER IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU TRACK THE PACKAGE AND BE THERE TO RECEIVE IT. LEAVING IT SITTING IN THE COLD OR EXTREME HEAT IN SUMMER MAY DAMAGE OR KILL THE PLANT. PLEASE CHECK YOUR EXTENDED WEATHER FORECAST PRIOR TO BIDDING TO MAKE SURE IT CAN BE SAFELY SHIPPED.
Smaller adeniums will be shipped priority mail, large, tall ones will be shipped standard to cut down on your shipping costs. Standard takes from 5-7 days. If standard shipping is noted and you would like to upgrade to priority please contact me prior to bidding for prices because priority can be steep on the large, heavy, tall plants
. UPS is also an option sometimes.
I do offer combined shipping, some may be able to ship for free with the other one but price will depend on which plants due to sizes and weight variations and often shipping them together is more than separately due to the larger box size.
I cannot guarantee that leaves, buds or blooms will not fall off during shipping. However, if they do, more should replace them shortly after you pot them.
I will ship bare root or with some soil on the roots. They do fine shipped bare root.
Please be ready to re-pot your plant when it arrives and do not fertilize right away. Let them rest in their new soil in a shady or semi shady location for a couple of weeks. If they dropped leaves during shipping, wait for new leaves to emerge before feeding and water only when the soil is dry. You can give them some Liquinox Vitamin B or Fox Farms Kangaroots in their water to give them a boost.
If you have any questions, or need more photos, please feel free to contact me.
