The American Adenium Difference

Grown From Experience. Built For Collectors.

American Adenium is more than a seed shop. For over 30 years, I've grown Adenium and other exotic plants in a cold-climate environment-learning what actually works through every stage from seed to mature specimen.

That experience goes into the genetics I select, the growing media I develop, and the guidance I share with every grower.

About Me

American Adenium is about growing healthy plants that I adapt for the American collector and hobby grower. I grow Adenium, Plumeria, Pachypodium, and Crown of Thorns specifically for the serious American collector. Why hassle with import regulations and damaged plants when I can take care of importing strong genetics from around the world, I acclimatize the plants to our growing conditions and make them available to you for your collection. Welcome to American Adenium!
