Fantastic!! Thanks for all the photos. You looked like you were having so much fun, and to find that wonderful caudex!!

When yo do put in the new potting mix/soil, I might suggeat watering very very sparingly for a month or two, to keep the mix moist but not wet at all, to give the feeder roots time to fill the soil.

I overwatered my big favorite plant, and it was just sitting there. This pot has one nice hole, and I thought all was well. For reasons unbeknownst to me, I picked the plant up. You can see that the bowl-shape of the pot won't hold the roots at all. The poor plant was sitting in tons of water that had simply not drained out!! Once the plant had filled the space with roots, it could drink up the water, because it was actively growing leaves. I water only early in the morning.

To see the pot, you must click on the photo. Home Depot for $13 pot.

I love Adeniums so much because they make me smile and laugh. No other plant has ever done that for me.
