Doris, I have tried a similar way but not quite how he did it. One of my problems is that 85 to 90% of mine are in the ground! Difficult enough getting down there, but also dealing with the wind is a problem, not to mention shaky hands I'm now in the process of digging a few up and putting in pots. I can tell you that's a difficult job , but I'm finding a lot of surprises, a lot of what I've called bottle adenium (no caudex) simply have very nice caudexes buried under the earth.These were guys that I was going to throw out because they didn't impress me. I guess I'm the weirdest one on A.T.P., growing from seed putting in pots,then putting them in the ground, then back in pots!!! If Melissa is around and about here is a question for her. Have you ever spliced (i can't remember the right term) one .......... grafted thats the word have you ever grafted a plant that was in the ground? I don't think it's possible. Putting a bag over the graft the sun bakes it. What sayist thou ol what's her name
