1. Here are the steps to grow Adenium obesum (Desert Rose) with aloe vera gel:

Take a healthy stem cutting from an Adenium obesum plant. The cutting should be at least 6 inches long and have a few leaves.

Allow the cutting to dry for a few days, so the cut end can callus over.

Cut a small piece of aloe vera leaf and remove the gel from it.

Dip the cut end of the Adenium cutting into the aloe vera gel and let it dry for a few hours.

Prepare a well-draining soil mix. You can use a commercial cactus mix or mix equal parts of sand, perlite, and peat moss.

Plant the Adenium cutting in the soil mix, with the cut end facing downwards.

Water the soil thoroughly and allow the excess water to drain out.

Place the pot in a bright, warm spot where the Adenium can get 6-8 hours of sunlight each day.

Water the Adenium only when the top inch of soil feels dry. Overwatering can cause the roots to rot.

After a few weeks, the Adenium cutting should start developing roots and new growth. Once it has established roots, you can transplant it into a larger pot or in the ground.

Aloe vera gel can help reduce the chances of the cutting developing fungal or bacterial infections, and it can also provide some nutrients to the plant. However, it's not essential for the Adenium cutting to root successfully.

Cut a ripe banana into small pieces and mash them with a fork.

Dip the cut end of the Adenium cutting into the mashed banana, covering the entire cut surface.

Plant the Adenium cutting in a well-draining soil mix. You can use a commercial cactus mix or mix equal parts of sand, perlite, and peat moss.

Water the soil thoroughly and allow the excess water to drain out.

Place the pot in a bright, warm spot where the Adenium can get 6-8 hours of sunlight each day.

Water the Adenium only when the top inch of soil feels dry. Overwatering can cause the roots to rot.

After a few weeks, the Adenium cutting should start developing roots and new growth. Once it has established roots, you can transplant it into a larger pot or in the ground.

Bananas are a good source of nutrients, and the potassium and phosphorus in the banana can help promote root growth. However, it's important not to use too much banana, as it can attract pests or cause the cutting to rot. Use a small amount of mashed banana to coat the cut surface of the Adenium cutting.
