Some of flowers shown in the pictures are not sold in the market yet, and 4-6 kinds are even not sold in the Adenium market in Taiwan.If you like some flowers in this website, please e-mail me the flowers' English names and quantities. I will reply to you ASAP and give you the specific prices and the amount of the stock.

Dear Sir,
Please tell me the detail information, such as the name of seeds. Please inform me your English name and address of the post office.
By the way, the change rate is that 1 USD equals to 31 NT$

I won't seed you the seeds that are just picked up because they exist too much water and easily cause seeds moldy. I must dry them before selling them. When you receive the seeds, you must soak them in the water for 2-4 hours before sowing in order to increase the germination rate. After sowing, you should keep the soil wet for three days until the sprouts appear. Please take care of the temperature,which will affect the germination rate directly. Generally speaking, the germination rate is between 75% to 95%.

I must clean and dry the Desert roses seeds in order to avoid being moldy before I send them. Besides, I always product a little amount Desert Roses seeds, which you can see in my homepage. Some kinds of seeds aren't easy produced, so the price will be more expensive. If you want to buy any seeds, please write a mail first and I am sure that you will be satisfied with our service.

Here I will explain why the seeds supply in a small amount. First, they are not mature yet. It should take about 1~3 monthes to let them be mature. Next, I don't provide seeds of all kinds of species. Because I am a business man, I always pick up more potential ones to copulate. Of course, I'm not very sure if each seed is better than his parents, but who knows? Every seed is like a hope, a hope for the future, isn't it?

Recently, I breed many lined-flowers of American series, and I make a breakthrough in white flowers. Now I keep on collecting some types of ADENIUM which are easily inseminated in the natural way. And I believe that I'll create more new types of ADENIUM in September or October next year. I don't have any problems of nematodes in Taiwan. When you have applied for the quarantine certificate in the airport, you can bring your favorite types of desert roses home easily.

My planting area of desert roses should be amongst of the third biggest ones in Taiwan. I must produce seeds, graft, and create new types of flowers. In normal, the garden isn't open to the public, only if you make an appointment with me in advance, and tell me exact time and the people's number. Thanks for your cooperation.

The price of desert roses will rise a little bit next year in Taiwan. The reason is that the follow-up people of planting desert roses couldn't produce right away because they are short of some conditions of production. We don't have many English names of desert roses in Taiwan, and when we translate Chinese names into English names, the English ones are not always the same. So I suggest that you just name them whatever you like in your country.

I couldn't answer your letter quickly because I need a translator to help me translate the message.
Thus, as you know, I couldn't control the reply time well. Usually, I often reply the letter on Tuesday and Friday. If you really need me to reply soon, I can just reply you some simple words. I have to say sorry for that.

I really like to talk about desert roses to all of you, but the language is a big trouble for me. And I really hope the computer software may become smarter and translate Chinese into English smoothly.

Three Important things to remind:
1. Do you need a quarantine certificate?(The cost of a quarantine certificate is NT$1,000.)If you need any other quarantine items, then please mention it on your reply letter.
2. If you are afraid of your purchase being withheld at customs, we recommend you apply for a quarantine certificate.
Because the quarantine certificate is one of the key elements to the successful trade.
3. Some clients only purchase a few items or a small number of the same items from us. In that case, you won't need a quarantine certificate. But I can't promise whether the order will be withheld at customs or at any check points that requires a quarantine certificate.

Most customers uses regular postage, which is cheaper, but more time consuming. But if you wish your purchase to be delivered prompt, then please state which kind of international mailing service you would like. Currently there is : EMS, Express, for better prompt and more efficient delivery in Taiwan.

It is not a good way to send a check to my address because I will need to pay the handling fees for the bank or post office. And I also has to wait about one months to get the money. This payment method is take more cost and time and it may affect you for your order delivery time.

The Secrets of having 95% sprouting on Adenium....

1. The best environmental temperature for Adenium is from 20 to 35 Celsius Degrees.
2. Selecting fresh picked seeds or seeds that are picked within¡§three¡¨months to sow.
3. Before sowing, soak the seeds into water for at lease¡§two¡¨to¡§four¡¨hours. If you are using water-tube to water the seeds, you must soak them for two to four hours. But if you water the seeds by sprinkling, you can sow
them first and then just sprinkle them for 15 minutes.
4. The first week for sowing please keep the medium(soil) wet for the better sprouting.
5. Once the seeds sprout into two leaves, please decrease the wetness of medium(soil). Before watering, the surface of the medium needs to be dry.
6. It only takes two months for the seeds to sprout and grow into 1-2 cm in diameter, providing that the temperature must be in the range of 22~35 Celsius degrees. Therefore, I must note that I do not use fertilizers in my medium.
7. After the seeds have sprouted, add fertilizer into water and then sprinkle them. In that way, the leaves can also absorb the fertilizers. Fertilizers used as N,P,K, for every 4 to 5 days until the plants need to change their pots into a three-inch pot.
8. The medium for the three-inch basin would require long-term fertilizers, which mean around every ten days, the Adenium would need to be fertilized

Notes: When you receive the seeds, you must soak them in the water for 2-4 hours before sowing. In this way, you can increase the germination rate. After sowing, you should keep the soil wet for three days until the sprouts appear. Please take care of the temperature, which will affect the germination rate directly. In my experiments, the germination rate is between 75% to 95%. The Adenium seeds I mail to the clients are all freshly picked. When you sow our seeds under the temperature of 20 Celsius to 35 Celsius degrees, I am able to guarantee the seeds will be able to have more than 90 percent of germination rate. All of the seeds I mailed to my customers come from my Adenium garden. If you order white, red, and white petal with red curving Adeniums, they will have 90% similarity of the pictures you see on my website. But the purple and striped line seeds, the offsprings of the Adeniums, are more changeable. I haven't been able to keep track of their originalities, therefore, they are a bit less predictable. But I can assure you that all of the seeds which my clients order come from the Adeniums garden you see on the website. If you want the seeds to grow better than those on my pictures, I can tell you that it rarely happens. But if you really keep the seeds under appropriate temperature, it will have a great chance to bloom like the pictures you see on my website. So keep up a good work.

I check my E-mail very often, so it's convenient to contact me by E-mail.
