After the storm rehearsal we had last week, I had placed my plants to safety and today I'm putting everything back in its proper place. For the most part, not so bad.

Here is a pic of my adenium babies:

All are doing pretty well, except one that lost all the leaves. I don't know what to make of that. However, the trunk is strong and not showing signs of rot.

Also, I hard pruned about four of my established adeniums. The leaves were in such a sorry state, and some of them were too leggy. I don't know. It didn't loo aesthetically pleasant. Truth be told, I HATED the fact that I've been trying to get the pests off the leaves and with the high humidity brought by the rain, I've been failing miserably. So... OFF WITH THE STEMS!

I'm just showing one. The others are pretty bare. Hilarious!
Gardening is cheaper than therapy!
Boricua in Florida, I guess that makes me a Floridicua!
