Adenium arabicum

This species has quite big stems with very soft leaves, they usually bloom lots along the stem and arms. The colour is bright pink, always fading to near white toward throat, which has generally one nectar guide per petal. The follicle are usually in dark red and much bigger than those of A. Obesum, the seeds are rapidly large. The short stem has 1 meter wide for the base, branches widely and lots.

This particular species imported both seeds and scions from Middle East 20 years ago. So many of them are growing very well and faster than original species in Thailand. It might be the reason of the big caudex. Now they called the name of Adeniums by imported area such as; The Arab (Singburi) , Lobburi , Ayuttaya , Oungkharak and Korat.

The colour would tell the species as much as can tell by stems and branches with the big follicle straight vertically standing, flowers around stems and arms.

Be able to grow by seed-grown in Thailand so that hybrids are spreadily popular. They fertilized widely, made The colour of flowers varied from pink to white and red which is now becoming the symbol of great species in Thailand. Some importer brought Adeniums that have big caudex from America but still not well-known. After that, some imported from Holland and got more famous; Half-breed of “ Holland ” they named it. The colour is white to deep red.0

For the original species or half breed Holland that gave unsatisfied colour but the caudex is big and roots well healthy then, it can be used for repotting to a better sub-species.

Adeniums that are found in Thailand are likely covered with all the species with various types and unique beautiful bodies. Because of the water, soil, weather are suitable to breed the plants. The cultivation in Thailand is rapidly developed and adapted the families of Adeniums made such a great result to the need. And now foreigners are coming to study and doing business here in Thailand.

The variety of Adeniums are still maintaining with the hope that the plants will breed across over the species so that will be more hybrid or sub-species. The small stem or scions can be graft on the others that, would make such a wonderful result. The flowers are classed by the popularity of colour favour ; bright colour, dark colour or fresh light colour and unusual colour, flower’s shapes or how long the blooming would last or how much the blooming goes.
