Classification of Adenium Thai Socotranum Species
How to identify each type of Adenium Thai Socotranum is not easy even by experience Thai grower. Because of almost types are came from or a sub-type of Bangkla. And seedling of Bangkla always have characteristics transform from one to another patterns (Bangkla is like a Rock'N Roll, it never die). Things that used to indentify such as shape of caudex, branch style, inter-node (joint), root and overall plant forming. But details of leave and flower alway used to making a final decision when everything are obscure. Both Thai Arabicum and Thai Socotranum, almost names giving to each type are came from the place that original mother was founded. Here is guide line that I wrote from my little experience. Check out Seeds Price and MORE Picture of Plants!
What's about Thai Socotranum?
Note : There's many questions of how to identify and what is a differentiate between Adenium Thai Socotranum and arabicum. And there's some confusing between Thai Socotranum and true socotram. Thai Socotranum are not true socotranum despite that it is a plant mutate from arabicum. Read more from this example to know more the way that Thai Socotranum coming.

Thai Socotranum - Bangkla
Bangkla
 
 
 
Bangkla is a top level of Thai Socotranum hierarchy. Almost of Thai Socotranum are came from it such as Khao Hin Zon (KHZ), Diamond Crown (DC), Chada Petch (CHP), Petch Sothorn (PST - Compack Bangkla) etc. Bangkla (BKL) is suitable for whom like to learning in variety of Thai Socotranum. Because of seedling of it can grow up into various styles and also able to declare as a new type.

| Note that Another none comercial name of Bangkla is "Yak Nong Nhae". About the Golden Crown (GC), until now the history of it still in mystery. Some one said it came from Khao Hin Zon but the owner of GC's mother plant not thinking like that. He siad GC is absolutely differentiate from Khao Hin Zon (KHZ) and it's also sitting on the top of Thai Socotranum hierarchy. | |

Thai Socotranum - Chada Petch
Chada Petch
Chada Petch is one from many types that came from Bangkla. Its name is just given in year 2006 by Mr. Krit and Mr. Toi (Padriw). With the beauty of branchs, caudex's shape and color cause CHP start popular from that year until now (Jan 2009). CHP has some properties of arabicum combination with Thai Socotranum Bangkla such as fat and swollen base caudex, bush, symmetry and small branch and much flowers as arabicum RCN. And also has properties of Thai Socotranum too, caudex is grow up in vertical direction and have short inter-node of branchs. And flower's shape is similar to both.

| Note that Chada Petch is most popular among Thai grower in year 2007-2008. Due to the symmetry and much of branchs in nature. But right now almost Thai grower familiar with root adjustment technique including chemical apply as well. Then any type of Thai Socotranum can have much brachs as their need. | |

Thai Socotranum - Diamond Crown
Diamond Crown
 
 
 
Diamond Crown (DC) is a sub-type of Bangkla. Just giving its a name to let it seem to be International plant (Thai say "Ko Inter"). As mentioned above, BKL can be grow into many types of Thai Socotranum. Then we classified any BKL's seedling that have characteristics as example pictures above to be Diamond Crown (DC). The other properties that we defined as DC are short and fat caudex, bush and decline a bit of branchs as coral. But flower of DC has round petal simimlar to Golden Crown (GC)..

Thai Socotranum - Golden Crown
Golden Crown
 
 
 
Golden Crown (GC) is very expensive and popular among Thai and Indonesian Adenium lover. Because of the beauty of plant forming with bush, horizontal branchs direction and fat caudex. Why they are so expensive? Because of there's very few mother plants in market. The history of this mother plant is still mysterious until now. Many people believed it came from Khao Hin Zon (KHZ) but the owner of GC's mother plant refuse it absolutely. He siad GC is different from Bangkla totally and it's also sitting on the top of Thai Socotranum hierarchy. Why! GC is being the most popular plant among Thai growers. Because of branch of GC always lay down in horizontal direction by nature rather than upright direction as other types.
Note that some flag of seedling of Khao Hin Zon. There's about 15-25% of seedling germination from the same pot can present plant's forming as GC. But this cannot confirm that GC is came from KHZ because of nature is indefinitely. Read more about Suay Pai Ked, this is an alternative definition of GC and KHZ. Gallery 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |

Thai Socotranum - Khao Hin Zon
Khao Hin Zon
 
 
 
Khao Hin Zon (KHZ) is a sub-type of Bangkla but have characteristics exactly different from Bangkla (BKL). Despite it have many things as same as Golden Crown (GC) such as bush and short branchs, fold up leave and branch style etc. The different characteristics are very short caudex, not much bending branch, new branch alway decline 10-60 degree from horizontal and the style of root that always look like crab legs.

Thai Socotranum - Petch Baan Na
Petch Baan Na
 
 
 
Petch Baan Na (PBN) is the most popular among Thai Adenium lover until now. Because of the beauty of plant forming with bush and bending branchs like a coral, fat caudex and sweet color of flower. Furthermore Petch Baan Na always give much flowers more than any type of Thai Socotranum like Arabicum RCN (Ra-Chi-Nee-Pan-Dok). But there's very few plants that have a good plant forming. Because of PBN is very easy in cross polinating with Arabicum by insect but also difficult to get complete and healthy seeds pot.

Mutational of Bangkla - Petch Morakod
Petch Morakod
 
Petch Morakod is a plant that growing from Bangkla's seedling. And why we give a new name to this plant? Because of it have some interesting properties that obviously differentiate from general Bangkla. It have characteristics combinating between Thai Socotranum Bangkla and Petch Baan Na. It have much flowers bloom, have symmetry and bush branchs as same as Petch Baan Na. The more interesting of this plant is it always give flower through the year (in Warm Climate like Thailand). This plant is very fast growing and almost of its seeding also have this property too. The shape of caudex like Petch Baan Na (Big and Fat) but have style of root as same as Bangkla and color of caudex alway in silver.

Thai Socotranum - Petch Sothorn
Petch Sothorn
|
Gene / ShortcutPetch Sothorn (PST) is a newest type of Thai Socotranum at the moment (Jan 2009). It just start up in Thai market and seem to become more popular than every type from its perfect characteristics of super compact plant by nature. PST is also mutate from seedling of Bangkla and founded in last 2 years ago. But a number of plants and seedlings of PST are very less in market. Due to it's a compact plant that cause it very difficult to give pot and very slow growing. On the other hand PST is a Bangkla type but have compact forming of plant. |
Thai Socotranum - S1 (Golden Bell)
S1 (Golden Bell)
 
 
 
S1 or Golden Bell, "S" is a starting letter of name of the owner of original plant - Mr. Suwat. S1 is not a sub-type of Bangkla as many type. Instead of it is the one that sitting on top of Thai Socotranum hierarchy as same as Bangkla and Petch Baan Na (and may be including Golden Crown). And they are also came to Thailand by hand carry from the same area as same as other Thai Socotranum - Jizan, Saudi Arabia. S1 (Golden Bell) have some interesting properties like Bangkla. Seedling of S1 can have its characteristics different from mother plant and able to define as a new type too.

MAGIC S1 Why we name it "Magic S1"? It is a Thai Socotranum S1 or Golden Bell that have very special property that almost of Adenium don't have. It can pollinating by itself and also very easily to happen!. | ||

Thai Socotranum - Suay Pai Ked
Suay Pai Ked

Gene / Shortcut |

WHAT IS SUAY PAI KED? (SPK) Reverse back to 20++ years ago since the first Thai Socotranum plant came to Thailand. We name this plant as "Dumri Sitthichoke (DRS)" (refer to surname of the plant's owner, Mr. Nhoom). From this original plant, it give 91 seedlings and almost of Thai Socotranum varieties are grow up from these 91 seedlings. In the other hand, master plant of BKL, KHZ, CHP and SPK are came from these 91 seedlings of DRS. The name Suay Pai Ked came from the mother plant that locate at Leoy province near border between Thailand and Lao.
Cutting branchs of DRS and these 91 seedlings are the most wanted by Thai collectors until now. Because of they have unstable of genes that able to mutate to many types such as Bangkla (BKL), Khao Hin Zon (KHZ), Chada Petch (CHP) and SUAY PAI KED (SPK). And there have 2 varieties that have unstable of genes as DRS. They are BKL and SPK. The varieties that mutate from Bangkla such are Diamond Crown (DC) and Chada Petch. And SUAY PAI KED is able to mutate to Khao Hin Zon and Golden Crown (GC). To consider a number of Thai Socotranum varieties in Thai market. Bangkla and Chada Petch are much more plentiful in market than any type. Due to they are easy to pollinating and well keeping of their seeds pot. S1 and S2 are also don't have much in Market due to they are not much popular. Petch Baan Na and Khao Hin Zon are moderately in market stock. But Suay Pai Ked is very rare because of it was distributed very less in the past unlike Bangkla and Khao Hin Zon that people seem enthusiastic to find them at the early of market bloom. Gallery 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Note that, as widely approval from many Thai growers, seedling of SPK always have forming of plant better than KHZ. That why many people don't belive GC is an independent from Bangkla family. | |
Thai Arabicum - Bang Ra Chan Dum V.S. Petch Intra
Bang Ra Chan Dum V.S. Petch Intra
 
 
 
Bang Ra Chan Dum (BRCH), this mother plant came to Thailand since 8 years ago from Gizan, Saudi Arabia. This variety is not declared as Thai Socotranum among Thai Adenium growers. Despite it is an arabicum. But why I raise it to being in this page? Because of it have many characteristics look like and have some properties similar to Thai Socotranum. (How T.Socotranum coming) For example, over looking of plant forming are combination between Thai Socotranum and arabicum. It have much and bush branchs, branchs always decline instead of upright direction, short inter-node gap in nature, caudex growing in both vertical and horizontal direction, very slow growing. But it have leave, flowers and caudex's shape like arabicum. The most interesting properties of this variety is very very big caudex and have color of branch in dark or black. Color of small seedlings are varies from light green to black. But when they grow up the color become lighter or brown as pictures showed.

Note that, there've more interesting topic about this variety. The second generation seedling (F2) of Bang Ra Chan Dum (BRCH) are totally differentiate with the first generation seedling (F1) of BRCH. And we named the F2 seedling as " Petch Intra " (PIT). Because of over looking of PIT are look like Thai Socotranum rather than arabicum. But the leave still as same as arabicum. From this example may be we can imagine the way of how Thai Socotranum developed or mutate from arabicum plant. | |
