I plan on 2' x 2' and 2' high for now, that'll easily fit their size for at least a year. If they all make it and get to 6" pots, it'll depend on how wide their branches make each one if it needs to be wider, but it's easy enough to change and PVC is really cheap. I might not make it until I need it, but I'll post pics when I do.

There are pop up greenhouses available that use the same frame style as a pop up canopy. Might be worth looking into to avoid those wet winters or keeping plants warmer in a basement. Wish I had a basement. They are incredibly useful.

I can't imagine living without a basement, thankfully it's unheard of in my area. If I ever move to another state, I'd first have to check if basements are allowed there.

Oh I like that pop up Greenhouse. Last year, they had a huge sale of amping tents $45 for 6 person tents and $9 for camping blankets. That proved to be a life saver because our temps went as low as 38 degrees but the tent (lined up with cardboard boxes with no heater) kept them above 40s.

Not quite, but soon!
"Tracy" is taking her time. It's been over a month since I first noticed the buds.

The plant lights + heat from the radiators under the windows seems to encourage flowers. I'm finding tiny new buds on at least 4 more Adeniums, though I imagine only one of them will open theirs before the year is over. And this is while we currently have less than 5 hours between sunrise and sunset. If it's cloudy, we barely get more than twilight.

As far as I can tell my 3 Adeniums are asleep Zzzz

The 2 recent purchases from "Top Tropical" were potted in 1 gal plastic nursery pots. When inspected I found the potting mix they use to be a wet mess ! Immediately repotted in MY Mix of aquarium gravel, orchid bark & a little soil.. Placed on a heat mat as a precaution (since it's cold in my grow room)

(IF) I see leaves forming before Spring, I'll move them under LED lights.
