Hey everyone I wanted to make a thread for some of my caudiciforms and my pachypodiums that I have grown from seed. If anyone here has any caudiciforms here feel free to post on here. I want a thread for all things caudiciform! And cacti and succulents too!
I entered into school to get my degree in horticulture about 9 years ago and one of the first classes I had to take was plant propagation, and I chose to do my semester long project on pachypodiums and adeniums. Here is the culmination of anywhere up to 8-9 years (some less) of growing these wonderfully bizarre caudiciforms I love so much. I recently moved some of them out of the greenhouse where they have lived their entire lives, in preparation to take them on a 1500mi journey back to my home state of Texas. I unfortunately could not take my entire seed grown collection with me, but I certainly took a good deal.
Most of them are in dormancy which is why they have no leaves (no they are not dead lol) but the dormancy period is one of the best times to appreciate all their individually unique caudices!! But as they push out there new leaves this spring, or flower this year I will post updates!
I think I will start with my pachypodiums first, then move onto adeniums, then some Euphorbias, then some Crassula, then a few senecio species( they’re not the best specimens anymore I let students propagate off of them). Hope all you enjoy what I have in my seed grown caudiciform collection!!
