Hurray! Oh yeah .... Welcome! to the adenium forums ...

you can repot now with flower buds ...but you might loose them all, because re-potting is a shock to the plant ...and adenium take forever to recover from most stresses (might take awhile) ...and repotting is a major stress

if you want to see a few flowers from your new plant ...go for it ....if not repot carefully, and it might pull through

once adenium "get over" stresses, they will take off in growth ...figure at least a month

make certain your new pot has drainage holes
your new potting mix should be mostly large grain sand, pebbles and rocks ...with very little organic material such as bark and coconut coir

fertilize with a 13-13-13 or 14-14-14 .... use a water soluble with all 7 of the micronutrients especially: Boron

in the tropics you will probably get another bunch of flower buds ...this season

prune early spring .... prune too late, may cut off all the flower buds ....prune too early, may cut off all the seed pods
