Adenium Obesum

These seem to be growing really quick, the 2 little seed leaves grow visibly bigger every day

They seem to have a particularly thick stem. I've no idea what these look like when grown so will need to look them up. They certainly look very healthy.

Yes have a look Toto, they are lovely and the stems get really wide at the base. The one over the far back is a runt though...it was born with only one leaf....................

Milky:

Did you start the Adenium obesum from seed? I've never seen seeds available and my plants have never produced seeds. However, they are a very commonly sold plant here.

These plant typically grow very slowly...my plants are 18"/ 46 cm tall after 5 year of growth.

Well Andy, I just googled and found the seeds easy enough, but I didnt realise that they grew that slowly. Do your flowers?......I wouldnt mind them being short, as I know we dont have the ideal conditions here but I hope this is not another beauty that I have to wait years to see......

They flower profusely in Summer...I've posted photos of my plants in the past, however, I will re-post it for you. My plant grows in full blasting hot Sun in my back yard which faces south.
