Rooting hormone is not needed when potting up adenium seedlings. I have potted up a couple hundred adenium seedlings and apply rooting powder only on those that I cut off the tap root when about six weeks old. And I plant immediately in moist media that has 60% perlite.
The powder also contains a fungicide that helps prevent rotting. Cutting the tap root at a very young age makes the plant grow a very fat caudex base. Never allow the media to dry out completely for young seedlings.
