First of my repots.... this is my white Adenium (wanted this pot for the red one but the plant was too big).....used cactus soil with lots of perlite for drainage. Also put a layer of just perlite in the bottom of the pot for extra drainage. Several of the roots had grown through the holes of the plastic pot...had a heck of a time getting it out without really damaging the roots.

I also raised the caudex just a bit.

Please feel free to critique and let me know how I did....I want to give my new friends the best chance I can!!

I'll post when I repot the others.....
I hate losing plants....I know they are "just plants" but when you nurse them along and baby them and get them to grow, bloom, and be pretty and they die....it's like losing a friend..... Crying
