Watering Adenium

"How much" to water Adenium sounds like easy: to support the plant is growing, always need enough water in the soil thoroughly with some coming out of the bottom of the pot. It may be necessary to water a little each time in the winter, usually with the plant not in growth or even dormant, what we need is just to keep the media from going dry.

The question is How often to water: The factors which will be influence are : 1) season 2) environment, 3) media, 4) fertilizer

Growth: Adeniums can use a lot of water - more than most other plants. Insufficient water will impact the plant will not growth as what we need. But to much water will cause the plant will be rotten.

Environment: hot & dry conditions (sufficient of sunlight), Watering every 7-10 days.

Media: Coco peat + Organic fertilizer + fried hull with Very little water retention.

Container size: Large specimen plants require less frequent water, partly because big pots don't dry quickly and partly because large plants are more resistant to dry conditions.

Growth stage: require frequent watering for young plants, they need growing rapidly. More older of the plant more Less frequent watering.

Growth control: regular fertilizer + nutrients will give a toughened plant with hard caudex. (make a schedule each 2-3 days for fertilizer and nutrients)
