Adenium Care MASTERCLASS | Secrets on Desert Rose Care — Seeds, Soil, Caudex, Rot Fix
Dr. Nazir, the radiologist who gardens as a hobby and runs GARDEN TIPS, posted nothing new over the past seven days. The channel kept busy anyway: its daily views are running at nearly twice their usual level, about 16,000 a day.
The video doing the most work is more than a year old. "Adenium Care MASTERCLASS | Secrets on Desert Rose Care — Seeds, Soil, Caudex, Rot Fix" walks through the whole life of the plant, from germinating seeds and moving seedlings to soil, watering and feeding. Then it gets to the parts a desert rose grower lies awake over: five tricks for a fatter caudex, the swollen trunk that makes the plant look like a little bonsai, and what the description calls emergency surgery for a rotting one, with cut, dry, sulfur or cinnamon, and re-root.
The two videos behind it share a theme: the doctor questioning popular kitchen fertilizers. One warns against pouring raw rice water on plants and makes the case for fermenting it first. In the other he admits that his own 2020 banana peel tea was a mistake, saying the soaked peels mostly feed the bacteria and the fungus gnats, and he now points readers to seaweed extract instead.
Among the outdoors and homesteading channels around his size, the big weeks belong to others: Tackle2thePeople and thruhikers are drawing far larger crowds, and Millennial Farmer is running well above his usual pace. For a gardener who posted nothing, a doubled daily audience is a respectable place to stand.
