Its resilience and stunning appearance make it a fascinating addition to gardens and indoor plant collections worldwide.

 

Step 1: Starting with a Tiny Adenium Plant

Step 2: Trimming the Roots for Radial Growth

• Trim the bottom portion, including the main downward-growing root. This encourages the formation of a beautiful radial root structure.

• Apply fungicide to the cut portion to prevent fungus infection.

• Then pot the plant in suitable Adenium or Succulent Media, then moist the soil media.

• Place the plant in a warm, dry spot to let the cut area dry thoroughly.
• Position a plate beneath the roots to guide them outward, enhancing the radial root structure's beauty.

Step 3: Ongoing Maintenance
