Thanx ... my pleasure & you are most welcome

Pruning ...to make a plant bushy - we would cut the top off ....or .... to make a plant taller - we would cut the sides off

so a word of caution about pruning adenium ....

many of the exotic adenium have grafted on tops .... the exotics have the blacks, yellows, violets flower colors - including the solids and stripes (usually - if the plant was grown from *seed* it wont be a grafted plant)

you can prune to the caudex (the fat portion) ...but if the plant is a grafted plant .. you will loose the graft and the bottom will revert to whatever it was ...
a graft looks like a cut that circles the entire stem and has healed

Yes ...adenium do not need much potting media .... next step for my largest plants will be 2 inch high, saucer type pots with plenty of hole drilled in the bottom for drainage

the rocks are for looks - but also to anchor, or hold the roots down
