What is the Correct pruning techniques for Adenium obesum?

You will want to prune for either of these reasons: weak branches supporting too much weight, to stimulate more flowering and splitting of branches, to shape the desert rose to your preference, or to prune off dead/rotting parts of the plant (which the plant usually separates from itself in bright healthy conditions). While pruning make sure to cover your hands, as the adenium branches release poisonous sticky sap, which if taken in can cause heart attack as it increases your heart rate (if I'm correct). Keep it away from your eyes and mouth/cuts on your skin at all times, else wash off immediately. Each plant will behave slightly differently to pruning, which will have to be found out by experimenting. Some grow back fast, some slower, some will flower very quickly some will take more time. Other factors the weather conditions. In tropical/sub tropical areas you can prune almost all year round, though preferred in late summer by some. In colder areas, it would be best to wait till the winter's over, you want warm sunny conditions so that your adenium can quickly grow back and won't get infected at the cutting. Clean cuts are ideal, use a pruner/shear. You don't have to cut diagonally as signs of the cutting will remain for quite some time, flat cuts will move on to look more natural than diagonal ones. But that is entirely up to the individual. Fertilize the plant after new shoots appear, fast foliage and flower booster. Slow releasing fertilizers are more ideal for year round, but the occasional chemical will do as well. Chemical fertilizer will cause your soil to eventually become rather lifeless, requiring a repotting, so I'm not too much for that unless really needed. I mentioned pruning roots earlier in case of root rot. I read this on another article online somewhere and it really does work. Just recognize a plant in trouble before it gets too damaged. The base of the adenium will go slightly soft in places. Dig up the whole plant bare root. Rot is easy to spot, don't inhale the stench, just prune it off with a clean blade till all the rotting has been removed. Then place the plant somewhere indoors, bare root, away from too much light to allow the cuttings to heal (around 5-7 days). Get rid of the soil the plant was in as it probably carries the fungus/disease from the rotting. Get some fresh new soil and pot the plant back in, voila! I answered to the best of my knowledge, from my own experience. So that doesn't mean it's all there is to it lol, put that's pretty much all there is to it. You'll find more interesting things if you google "adenium root pruning". Hope that helps, happy gardening! :)


How do you plant desert rose seeds and should you soak them or just take the flyers off and plant?

There are two plants called the desert rose. By the reference to a 'flyer', you are probably meaning the Sturt's Desert Rose of Australia. If so, you do not need to pre-treat or remove the 'flyer'. Just sow seed in potting mix - you can buy a mix especially for native plants. If your question relates to the succulent Adenium obesum, which is from the oleander family, then you also don't need to pre-treat the seed.
