Will They Survive? 🌵 Testing Adeniums in EXTREME Heat! ☀️ #gardening #highheat #adenium

Are your vertical garden plants burning to a crisp in the summer sun? ☀️🔥 You are not alone! In this video, we are conducting a bold gardening experiment to solve the problem of intense heat in small spaces. Welcome back to the garden! Today, we are tackling a major issue that many urban gardeners face: The "Scorched Earth" zone. 🛒 Garden Gear Used in This Video: Want to build your own heat-proof vertical garden? Here are the tools and supplies I trust to keep my plants alive! 🌿👇 🧱 The Vertical Planter: Perfect for small balconies and maximizing space! https://amzn.to/3YkKyCl #ad ✂️ Pruning Shears: Clean cuts are essential for Adenium propagation. https://amzn.to/4qBpyDh #ad 🥥 Organic Mulch: The secret to keeping roots cool and moist in hot weather. https://amzn.to/3YoLYvy #ad 🧪 Rooting Hormone: Give your cuttings the best fighting chance. https://amzn.to/4qFoVIZ #ad (Disclaimer: These are affiliate links.

I have a set of vertical stacking planters located in a specific spot in my garden that gets absolute full exposure to the harsh summer sun. There isn't much choice regarding the position, but unfortunately, almost every standard flowering annual or soft perennial I have planted here has failed to survive the heatwaves. 🥀 The Experiment: Adeniums (Desert Roses) in Vertical Towers 🌵 Instead of fighting the sun, I’ve decided to embrace it! I am planting cut-off Adeniums (Desert Roses) directly into these vertical planters. Adeniums are native to arid regions and are famous for their swollen caudex and stunning flowers, but they are usually grown in wide, shallow pots. Growing them in a stacked, vertical system is a unique challenge! Why Adeniums? Adeniums are heat-loving succulents. If any plant can withstand the reflected heat off the wall and the direct solar radiation, it’s the Desert Rose. They thrive where others wilt. The Process Covered in This Video: 1. Site Analysis: Understanding why standard plants fail in this high-heat zone. 2. Plant Selection: Using Adenium cuttings that are ready to root. 3. Planting Strategy: Positioning them in the tiered pockets of the vertical planter. 4. The Secret Weapon (Mulching): I explain why I am thoroughly mulching these plants. In a vertical planter, soil dries out incredibly fast. Mulch will help retain moisture and keep the root zone slightly cooler while the cuttings establish. Goals for this Project: • To successfully root Adenium cuttings in a vertical format. • To create a "wall of flowers" that loves the heat. • To utilize vertical space efficiently without constant plant replacement. If this works, it changes the game for sunny balconies and patios! Imagine a tower of blooming Desert Roses defying the summer heat. 🌸 General Care Tips for Adeniums: • Sun: They need at least 6 hours of direct sun. • Watering: Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings (though in vertical planters, check more frequently). • Soil: Well-draining, gritty mix is essential to prevent rot. • Feeding: Use a balanced fertilizer during the growing season. Join me on this journey as we see if these tough succulents can turn a "dead zone" into a thriving floral display.
