Hello friends,
I've done some searching, but nothing seems to be coming up for my particular situation, as yet.

So there was an unexpected freeze a couple months ago, and it was HARD. Unfortunately, my adenium was sitting on the patio. Next day I looked and all the leaves were gone. I immediately brought it inside and gave it some water, but over a couple months, nothing was growing. When I moved from that apartment I decided to give up and throw it out while saving the pot. When I pulled it out, though, the roots still smelled healthy, even though everything above the soil had gone soft. They are nice and firm and white, too!

What do I do? If all it has is a bundle of fat roots and the smaller tangled ones coming off those, can it be saved? How should I deal with the top part? It's too thick for my pruning shears to get off in one go.
