True Thai Socotranum Golden Crown 1st winning award 2005, Aged 5 years
I would like to start with Golden Crown first. This cultivar is the best selection, extremely caudiform with a ring of branches topping the short, fat caudex. Leaves are relatively narrow and long, shiny, thinner in substance and glaborous. Flower are typical, small and pink. The easy way to know what cultivar of Thai Socotranum is to look them from the top of plants. Golden
Crown branches will expand paralelly to the ground.
Our 6 year Golden Crown Mother Plant/Original and 1st Generation
Golden Crown seedling aged about 4-5 months will lead to be nice form. Middle main branch will grow faster, bigger and taller than side branches or arms. They are in perfect order like crown. This behavior will make the Golden Crown is accepted to be prominent and different from other Thai Socotranum hybrids.
Here is how to notice the Golden Crown seedlings. The characteristic is the main branch on the top of stem and also consists of many tiny branches around this main branch
Our 100% TRUE Golden Crown seedlings are sown and grown from 1st original Mother Plant.

Here is the flower of Golden Crown. The flower is the darkest pink compared with other Thai Socotranum flowers. The flowers as bright pink and twice the size of those of "mainland A.multiflorum" , which would make them 10-13 cm (4-5") in diameter.
Good thing for Socotranums compared with Obesum is that they are stronger and more durable to pests, diseases, and rain.

We have no policy to sell Mother Plant' cuttings but we sell only seedlings sowed from mother plant' seeds. It's pretty hard for customers to sort out the seedling form between Golden Crown and others. Seedling form will become distinctively until their ages are over 4 months.
Here are the distinctive characters you can notice:
Here are the distinctive characters you can notice:
1. Most branches parallel with the ground, like layers or roof
2. Many joints in each branch from bottom to top are very clear
3. Middle main stem is special character for this Thai Socotranum
4. Leaves are fold and shiny. Top leave is dark green but bottom one is soft green.
5. Flower is almost the same as Diamond Crown' one
6. Caudex is white brown, not green like Arabicum.
Some Golden Crown Seedlings are almost similar to Petch Ban Na and Diamond Crown. It's hard to identify if they are 100% Golden Crown. Mostly identified as Golden Crown distinctively when their ages are over 8-9 months. We can guarrantee that you will get the TRUE hybrid coz our seedlings are from my own 1st mother plant and we do hybrid zoning distinctively, not mixed with other hybrid. Real Golden Crown seedlings are available now.
We harvest their seeds from our mother plants and segregate seed sowing very carefully. That's why we can offer and guarrantee to customers with the genuine Golden Crown hybrid. Seeds are also available.
