Hi all, Please don't laugh - You all have such impressive adeniums, that I'm almost embarassed to post these pictures of a very sad rescue from the Lowe's clearance rack. It looked so bad that I hated to leave it behind, kind of like a stray hungry puppy! Sighing! Anyway, now it's mine, and I'd like to try to make something of it. I'm in Central Florida, and I'd like to prune and repot it now. Should I wait until Spring? It's in the 60's at night, but at least the 70's during the day.

And the grafting seems to have gone wrong, cosmetically anyway. Is there anything I can do at this point to make this area less noticeable?

Any thoughts? (Oh, ignore the dates on the pictures - it's old camera, and you have to reset the date each time you change out the batteries. I forgot this time.)
