How to make Adenium-Bonsai from Arabicum and Thai Socotranum seedlings? Part III

Hi Adenium Lovers;

Last time, I shared my idea about "How to make Arabicum-Bonsai from seedlings Part 2". Now I would like to continue the part 3. From this process, the baby seedlings will produce more and more secondary roots replaced with primary root. There will be 7-8 fibrous roots . If you are not satisfy with amount of fibrous roots, you can cut the -

secondary branch again near to stem base.(Please see the photo below). According to 2nd root cutting, there are 3 ways (more secondary roots, same amount of secondary roots, or die.
I know you do not want your seedlings to be dead including myself because we are all adenium lovers. Mostly they die from fungi infection after cutting their roots. If you make sure that you give them fungicide chemical and diluted root hormone after cutting and putting them in media again so you will be fine.



Please do not put any fertilizer for this time. After that making holes and put these cut-root seedlings in this media. Put them in the shade (60% slant) about 2 weeks. When these seedlings recover and get more healthy, you can take them to outdoor with full sunlight. Now you can put the fertilizer and watering as usual. After 2-3 months, you can select the good seedling form to prepare with the next step"Root Organization or Order". I will share this idea later in part 4. Take care.
