Hi, I recently discovered Adeniums.
After a good bit of research on the plant, and where I could get some seeds.
I purchased a bunch of seeds. 7x Adenium Obesum Polaris x Super Noble Concubine
and 20x Adenium Obesum Super Noble Concubine.
At the time of writing this the Polaris x Super Noble are 1 month and 2 weeks old.
And 9 of the Super Noble are 3 weeks and 3 days old, the rest of the Super Noble is 1 month and 1 day old.
They are slow growers for me, but that is alright.
I have had some issues during this time.
Some of them have decided that their pots where to small and started growing roots out of the pots.
I tried to gently lift them up, soil and all. and placed a little bit more soil in the bottom. This seemed to work as they are still here and some of them gained som mass after.
Once again I ran into this issue, with them putting roots out of their containers. So this time I decided that i would try to pot them up into bigger pots, 4" pots. This might not have been a good idea. As the two I repotted now, have gotten darker and drying leaf tips on one leaf each.
Placed them in the shade after the repot for 4 days, after 4 days they went back to the window they were before.
Also one of my thicker Polaris x Super Noble have 4 leaves where the tips are turning yellow.
If someone has some wisdom to share with me would be greatly appreciated!
The setup:
Using sowing soil that is also ment for succulents and cacti mixed with perlite in a 50/50 mix.
Most of my plants are in 2" pots of plastic.
The two I potted up are in 4" terracotta pots and the pots are rather likely to big for the small adeniums.
I use a moisture meter for testing the soil. And I only water them when the moisture meter are on 1. (Or the pots feel light)
Most of the plants are in a south facing window and the Polaris x Super noble also have a 6400k 15W (1500 lumen, PPFD 100mm: 115 µmol/s/m2 LED grow light).

And in case you want to see the rest I'll put some pictures of them in here aswell.
Thank you in advance!
