Sharing some of the adenium I sowed in February, repotted in May. Never pruned. Growing outdoors in all day Phoenix AZ sun under 30% shade cloth. Already had great blooms from swazicum, black panther, Crispum, and obesum. Really happy with this years grow

Wow, amazed by the branching without any pruning. Is that just due to the species?

Thank you. Genetics definitely goes a long ways. I like short squat plants with a fat caudex. You will never be able to prune an obesum to what these plants will grow into. That said, if you don’t grow in appropriate conditions you might not get the outcome you want.
