To encourage thicker caudex growth in Adeniums, focus on providing ample sunlight, repotting with wider containers, and pruning the tap root. These actions will stimulate the plant to focus its energy on thickening the caudex.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Sunlight and Watering:
Sunlight:
Adeniums need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth, especially for flowering and caudex thickening.
Watering:
Water only when the soil is dry to a depth of 1-2 inches. Give the plant a thorough watering when it does, but adjust watering frequency based on your climate and plant size.
2. Potting and Repotting:
Wider pots:
Use pots that are wider than they are deep to encourage the caudex to expand outwards.
Repotting:
Repot annually, especially for younger plants, to provide space for root growth and encourage caudex thickening.
Soil:
Use a well-draining soil mix, such as a mix of sand, perlite, and cocopeat.
3. Pruning:
Tap root pruning:
Cutting the central tap root (also known as the taproot) is a common technique to stimulate wider caudex growth.
Pruning for growth:
Pruning the top branches can encourage the plant to focus energy on caudex growth.
4. Fertilizing:
Balanced fertilizer:
Use a balanced fertilizer (NPK 15-15-15 or 20-20-20) to promote overall growth, including the caudex.
DAP and micronutrients:
Adding DAP (Diammonium Phosphate) and micronutrients can further enhance growth.
Fertilizing schedule:
Fertilize regularly during the growing season (typically spring and summer) and avoid fertilizing during the dormant winter period.
5. Dormancy:
Winter rest:
Adeniums enter a dormant period in winter. Reduce watering and avoid fertilizing during this time.
Dehydration:
Some growers recommend slightly dehydrating the plant before repotting in spring to encourage strong growth in the next season.
By following these tips, you can help your Adenium develop a thicker and more impressive caudex.
