Those are great looking plants, Martin. You must lavish a lot of care on them.

Thanks!

Rod Smith, I do. I (bonsai) train/shape some of them using techniques like defoliation, pruning, pinching and wiring. Adeniums are tough plants and fast growers under ideal conditions, making them perfect for training.
