fertilize now ... never used Jobe's, but should be okay to use ...

keep potting media damp, but not wet ... once you start to see the main upright stems begin to thicken and increase in diameter - start cutting back on the amount of water ....< ignore that once plants are established in pots ...water thoroughly and at least every 7 days during hot summer days

Once established - think: wet season - dry season ...... (wet season = summer months - dry season = dormant winter months )

also.... never used Happy Frog potting soil - but as long as it drains fast - it should be okay to use ...

also - never let adeniums sit in water - excessive water will kill adeniums

bring the adeniums indoors at the first hint of frost or freezing night-time lows ... water thoroughly (without fertilizer) before making the move ....

place near a south (east or west) facing window - or - use grow lights

once indoors - do not water again for 3 months - and then, only sparingly

oh yeah ....after awhile indoors - leaves will fall off ...this perfectly normal & signals the beginning of dormancy ....
