Interesting read. In my mind, which I have to admit is small Whistling , because adeniums looked like succulents (I guess they are, right?) and I have grown succulents in clay pots for decades, I simply thought clay would be the best pot to use in their first months. I guess I was wrong, wrong, wrong. Sighing! I have tons of plastic pots and probably a couple of hundred 4" ones that I use for orchid seedlings. I can re-pot all those in clay (I think I have 18) into those seedling pots. I think I will modify my soil mix when I do so that it will be a bit more water-retentive yet still well-draining. I can also look for tap-roots and if identifiable, I will do some selective trimming. I might even try some of those disc thingies.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
