Grafting Technique..
Propagating Adenium by grafting is pretty easy you just need to take a few things into consideration. Make sure your tools are clean and sharp to make the best cutting. (In case that your skin is too sensitive, you may wear protective gloves and glasses when working to avoid the sap of Adenium are considered toxic.)

• Select a perfect branch from Adenium mother plant that have good form, age 9-12 months, length 4-5 cms. With a bud which is smaller that the rootstock.

• Select a rootstock that have thick stems, bigger than a scion and healthy.

• Cut rootstock stem like " V " shape about 1.5- 2 cm . depth by using sharp and sterile knife.

• Cut scion into wedge carefully and insert into rootstock, matching cambium at edge or central vascular bundle preferably both sides.

At the beginning, Adenium is a favorite hobby of my husband. Because of attractive forms, colorful, various blooms and species. Especially Thai Socotranum, it is well known and very popular by Adenium lovers in Thailand . He spent almost his private time after work dedicated to his small garden for many years ago. So next year, we decide to open our Adenium nursury.

As we are new Adenium nursery, we can't produce much seeds by ourselves. So we cooperated with a group of local people in Amphur Khong, Nakornratchasima, as our partners. We are so proud to help them by growing Adenium around their house as their hobbies or part time job. To ensure quality of the seeds, we also share our experience and knowledge of growing Adenium, taking care, propagating and cultivating with our partners. All of the seeds should be picked strictly with good credit to offer to our customers the freshest seeds in order to keep the good germination.

Hand Pollinating Technique..

Hand pollination is a very simple procedure. Most flowers will start to bloom at night and usually last only one night. The best time for hand pollinating is just before dark, when the flowers have already opened.

• Select a big Adenium flower, colorful and perfect shape.

• Gentle tearing a petal apart through the base of the flower.

• Pulling out of the anther filaments (For a purpose in insect pollination) to create a temporary opening and easily inserted an instrument.

• Inserting small and clean artist brush into small cone-shaped inner chamber at the base of the flower. Make sure to clean thSe brush before.

• Gentle squeezing to collect pollen and to deposit pollen previously collected from another flower.

• Able to do more than 1 flower or mix around over the pollen from different flowers too.

• If pollination is successful the seed pods will start to grow.
