Welcome to ATP Tajuan! The folks here are very nice and It's like we're a family. "Babbling" is perfectly all right here as we all are excited about our own collections and want to share our experiences...be it succulents, daylilies, hostas, roses, orchids, native wildflowers, bees, butterflies, and so on. There are also pet threads and food threads. I enjoy dropping into the various forums to look at pictures, see what's happening there, learn new things, and to contribute when and where I can. And the folks are willing and glad to help others as needed.
I started growing adeniums from seeds last year and have learned a lot through my trials and tribulations.
@RCanada mentioned lifting/raising the root system. I do this at each repot or up-pot...the succulent roots are like an extension of the caudex and adds to the beauty.
(Note: This does not work well with cuttings...there is an obvious unattractive line of scarring where the cutting was rooted.)
Here are some pictures of my earlier experiments.
Teejay said:The life force of them all are very strong. I can not wait to prune them in the spring awaiting the new growth!
I totally agree about their life force being strong. And they are so fun to grow!
Happy gardening!
