Flat Grafting Adenium........that is what is new for me.....

I learned this unusual grafting method on the adenium forum......start with a plant that has a nice caudex like the one below.....
Wack off the tops...........
Then place a 0naked stem piece with 2-3 buds (scion) on top of the freshly cut base......the diameter of the scion does not have to match the base diameter......it can be 1/2 the diameter and still work fine.....the sizes will equalize after a year or so.......cover with plastic that serves to hold the scion to the bottom stem.....wait 3 weeks. uncover it and in another 3 weeks what you get is below.........

Now this will be new adenium that has both a nice caudex and good flowers......go get the rest of the details at the "adenium forum"........actually it is the "adenium and pachypodium forum".....some good stuff there.......

This could be a really good teaching tool for a grafting class..........imho.....
