Ok, ladies and gents... that was the Saturday project, this was today's project...
My mom came over and wanted to play with succulents.
We made this together:
Then, she looked over at the other adenium she had brought me to unearth, like a week ago.
Mom: When are you going to work on my other desert rose?
Me: No time like the present!
Sooo... this is the desert rose before (yep, notice the wrong pot):
We rinsed the caudex:
It is still a relatively small plant. I mentioned to her about the excess of nitrogen, and she mentioned she was using 20-20-20 fertilizer. I'm looking into getting the 10-20-30 Melissa recommended for her plants and mine.
I was going to let it alone. The roots were strong and didn't need much trimming. I just wanted to change that pot. However, we noticed on the leaves, there was that sticky white film... mealy bugs? whitefly? I don't know, but I decided then to hack a few branches. Sprinkled with cinnamon of course.
So now it's hanging. Since I didn't do much to it, I expect to plant it in its new pot (with nice draining holes) in about a week. I love every time I get to garden on a weekend!!!!
