My daughter Noe got me interested in succulents in early 2016 and ever since we've been on a quest!!! Naturally with so many new plants around, we needed pots to put all of them into. The typical pots you can buy from the big box stores just don't have character that suits these incredibly interesting plants. So we've both been making our own pottery. And now we're branching out into other plants - Aeroids, Orchids and Citrus!!! Check out what our green thumbs have been doing!!!

Repotting the Adeniums
As "winter" is coming to a close (relative term) here, our gardens will quickly turn from dormancy (again a relative term) to growth. Last year we were in the procurement mode (yes - we've slowed down and trimmed back quite a bit) so we didn't pay that much attention to the details on how fast the plants were growing, but as the sun returns to the Northern Hemisphere, we are preparing to make tons of observations. First up are the Adeniums. We knew we would have to repotted these shortly, but we were probably past that line a month ago. Getting them out of their pots was a little tricky and Noe and I ended up using a water hose to accomplish the task. I trimmed the smaller roots from each of my plants, but Noe preferred to just go with nature.
I'll upload some more pictures once I get access to La's computer. These pictures are more for future reference to growth rate. I figure if these plants really take of this year, Noe and I will be repotting again in late summer.
