New Arabicum 2008 : Siam White Pearl

Hi Arabicum Lovers;

Today I would like to introduce you new Arabicum hybrid. I gave her a name as "Siam White Pearl". She is originally come from Petch Na Wang (PNW). I have another last generation of Black Arabicum well known as "Black Pearl" come from PNW as well.
The most interesting in this hybrid is that can provide Multi-Branch seedlings ' form and nice branch internodes great for making Adenium-Bonsai seedling. Multi-branch form now is more popular than Muscular from for this time.

Leaves fold up, soft green and clear backbone


White Pearl - Flower with yellow inside and white sparkle in the throat

Let's talk about her characters: 1. Caudex : Caudex skin color is almost like cream color, clean and no button. Branch internodes is very clear and more distant. 2. Flowers: Bigger than normal PNW especially with big yellow throat and surrounded with inside white star, pink petal, and fresh pink border. 3. Leaves : Leaves are thicker, more hairy, fold up, special notice with nice white backbone leaves. 4. Roots : Nice root base almost the same with Yal Lop Bu Ri.

The exciting thing is not only hybrid's characters but only with making new mixed hybrid style following with Bonsai Seedling Class. I like to use this hybrid to cross with Thai Soco because she can perform multi-branch style even not perfect as RCN but skin caudex color is more attractive.


Here is seedling comes up with mixed hybrid crossed between White Pearl and Thai Socotranum : Golden Crown. Some of them have hairy leaves and I select the shiny ones to maintain the form. The another simple technique to make root growing faster, spread, and bigger caudex base is to cover the root with media, put the organic fertilizer around the pot border, and keep lifting up the caudex every month.


Finally, I really hope you guys will enjoy growing Adeniums. I think there are also much more hidden things with Adeniums for me to explore and I really want you to do so.

Take care and enjoy growing Adeniums.
