GigiPlumeria said: The cuttings will root if they are mature branches. You will have to let the cuttings dry/callous for 2 to 3 days, then root in water but make sure they get filtered or morning sun. It takes 2 to 3 weeks for cuttings to root. Young cuttings will not root.
You can also hand pollinate your blooms to produce seedpods. Would love to see your desert roses in our Adenium forum. 
Thanks for the info & invitation. I'll check out the adenium forum.
I never thought they'd root in water, since they don't like too much water.
I lost a beautiful one by over watering. That was before I joined NGA.
Before putting the cuttings in 1:10 peatmoss:perlite, I dipped them in
cinnamon, and let them dry for a week.
If I was 10yrs younger I'd try seeds & cross pollinating. Adeniums are
just so slow growing for me to do seeds, much less crossing.
In fact, I don't remember seeing a seed pod on any of them.
I used to do that with epiphyllums....have you grown them?
They grow fairly quickly from seed & easy to pollinate.
After processing the ripe fruit in the blender, I spread the seeds on a paper towel
and kept it moist. I'd get a lawn of baby epis. :thumbsup:
Adeniums are one of the most challenging plants for me.
Not too much water, can't get too cold,
can get sunburned (lost a big one that way
).
But they can be awesome if you do it right, e.g. this one
....no idea how old it is, but took a while I'm sure.
