adenium desert rose project

[hinmo24t]

i went to a nice nursery over the weekend and saw this adenium disregarded and tagless, and they let me buy it for $10.
id been wanting a desert rose for awhile and was fairly certain when i saw it, and with the new growth at this time of year
i scooped it up. it was in four or five inch terracotta along with a gollum jade, dry as heck and not looking good at all.
instead of separating the jade i left it in there, as i didnt want to disrupt the dry roots. up potted it with some good sandy soil/compost.
will get it into sun asap but with a few cloudy/rainy days forecast i have it in my south window

my plant is not soft except for one spot - you can tell where in the pic but even all of that area that looks soft just has a dime size section that actually is.
relatively firm overall which i saw as a positive, and theres lots of green on the stems and whatnot, those two nubs, etc.



heres the badass nursery btw, they have a fig 15' high growing over a doorway and into top of greenhouse
and some massive begonia and bougainvillea for their propagating

I found mine at Lowe’s. 8.50 each. I’d never seen them there before. I’ll grab some pictures and post them, none handy at the moment.

Do you have yours in succulent mix?
