Interesting read. In my mind, which I have to admit is small
, because adeniums looked like succulents (I guess they are, right?) and I have grown succulents in clay pots for decades, I simply thought clay would be the best pot to use in their first months. I guess I was wrong, wrong, wrong.
I have tons of plastic pots and probably a couple of hundred 4" ones that I use for orchid seedlings. I can re-pot all those in clay (I think I have 18) into those seedling pots. I think I will modify my soil mix when I do so that it will be a bit more water-retentive yet still well-draining. I can also look for tap-roots and if identifiable, I will do some selective trimming. I might even try some of those disc thingies.
