...some of the nicest looking plants I have ever seen ...
have to say I am impressed 
when in need - I will ask you for advice ... on speed-dial
Oh, that's flattering!
They really are beautiful!!
It's the fist time I have witnessed such an amount of flowering.
I developed my interest in Adeniums last year when I found some of them getting root rot.
That's the first time I hard-pruned all of them and hung them for some 15-20 days.
Even the weakest ones survived and they are in good shape now.
plants need these trace elements, only in very small quantities and only once in awhile ...meaning not a lot
👍 Will definitely keep in mind.
those browning tips are caused by either watering too much or not enough ...
I always "count" any amount of rainfall as a watering day ....
I first noticed those brown tips in January.
December to January is the time when plants get dormant here if they have to.
8-10* C is the lowest (Nights).
They must have not been watered enough, thought it's better to lose leaves then getting root rot again.
Maybe that was stupid. 😅
In my region, dormancy has just ended, and it seems there is one "massive flowering" in late June early July ...then sporadic flowering afterwards
I live 50Kms South of the tropic of Cancer.
Dormancy ends with January.
Have witnessed sporadic flowering (flowers here and there) throughout the year except Dec-Jan, but to be fair, there weren't enough branches to flower more, earlier.
Will love to see your plants in full bloom!!
seedpods form within 14 days (if fertilization was successful) and those seedpods will release seed in 70 days
Again, being here and having your replies feels like having an experienced botanist friend.
Thanks again for such an informative post.
I think the amount of flowering & duration is related to the length of daytime sunlight & degree of warmth ...
Well, I doubt about you being wrong.
Both of them are in abundance here.
I was wondering, after the seed pods open up and before the monsoon starts (June-August), should I prune them?
The branches are long and curved in most of the plants, and I'm looking for denser branches and more flowers in next season.
And if yes, should I just prune them or hang them again just like last year?
Here, August is also a month when Adeniums pace their growth after weathering the monsoon.
Thanks again Sir, for reading and answering my noob queries.
