Hi,me again!:)Ok,lets see if we can put this to rest.... Let's start with a little bit of history here,the other two ladies that replied to this post have been around here along time and both have seen it all,so you must understand why you got the response you did.I can completely understand why both are very skeptical of what you had to say,I must admit when I first read this thread I thought to myself.."Boy is he mad at the people that didnt trade with him!" After I read your response,I was hoping that maybe you have the same problem as my DH,words come out wrong and he tends to add things to what he said that cause misunderstandings. I would like to believe that you really didnt mean it the way it sounded,and by your persistance to clear this up I now belive you when you say that you didnt mean to offend anyone.Computers are not good at relaying emotions. About the free seeds,there is nothing wrong with taking people up on their SASBE offers,as long as your intention is to stick around and participate in trading here.And also most important pay it foward when you have the opportunity.I would suggest that you do take people up on a few SASBE offers even if they arent offering things you grow.The seeds you get from those offers you can put on your list and trade for something you really want.I myself have a SASBE offer I just finished up.The seeds I offered were for those people to grow or build a list with.Should they build a list with them and trade them for things they really want to me is the same as if they grow them,either way they have something they want and I know I am not the only one that feels this way about SASE offers.So go ahead,get some SASE!:) Alot of people here grow more han veggies so it could benefit you to have some flowers on your list,there is another member here that really only wants veggie seeds and he has some flowers on his list so he can please everyone he wants to trade with,he has done well here and people really like to trade with him.I have traded with him,if he didnt have the flowers on his list he would have had nothing I was interested in at this time and we probably would not have traded.And vice versa if he hadnt been looking for flowers at that particular time,I would have had nothing he was intersted in.Basically,it would be a good idea to build your list up with more selection in order to trade with more people.Because I bet that the people that looked at your list may have already had those veggies and if they had a choice of a flower they have been looking for would have taken you up on your trade offer.Give it a try and I bet you will be surprised in the results.I would suggest looking at want lists of potential trades also,it may save you from being disappointed. Want lists say it all about a person,you can do as I do and still give it a shot or let it go because it doesnt look likely they would want anything you have to offer. As for yor comment about some want lists being longer than the haves list.When I first started I had 5 things on my want list and was told repeatedly I needed to put more on it.That is all apart of gardening,you dream of the ones you may someday have.Alot of traders like to see a want list,it helps them determine what they want to send you for bonuses and lets people know your general taste in flowers/veggies.From what I have seen and have been told there is nothing wrong with wanting more than you have on your list,most of it is wishful thinking,hence the term 'wish list'.I have a much longer wish list than I have to trade.And I dont believe I have ever offended anyone with this or have been looked at as greedy.It is ok to want just as long as you are willing to give when you CAN!:) I think maybe you really misunderstand how people are here.This forum is filled with the nicest people I have ever met and I have had some great trades and received wonderful SASEs here.People here really support eachother and look out for eachother,so if you are looking for a nice place to trade your seeds this is it!But in the future I would suggest when you want to thank people leave it just as that,a thank you.There is no need to point out those who couldnt trade with you.When you did that it sounded like you harbor some ill feelings against people who couldnt trade with you at this time,even if you didnt mean it that way!I think it would be a great benefit to you to look at some trade lists and see how the majority does it around here.I think you will see that it is not about greed here,just a bunch of seed addicts getting their fix!:)And we just try to enable eachother in this addiction!:)You shouldnt look at wanting as something bad,as long as you know that you are willing to give as much as you want,there is no problem!Well I hope all my babbling may have helped you in some way and maybe if not you someone else. Have a great Holiday! :) ~Angie

No, I do not unless there is some reason to be concerned. If there are other iffy areas among the roots then I think it would be wise to hang it and let it dry a while. Now mind you I have less experience with adeniums than many of you here but with succulents and bonsai in general and I also give a spraying over with sulfur to deter fungal and bacterial issues. If in doubt, I wouldn't urge anyone to feel the need to toss out conventional wisdom and repot back up right away. I do, but then I also keep the soil a little on the dry side and treat the plant for repotting stress for a week or two of light watering and dappled sunlight until the plant settles back in. Obviously I'll need a few years to fine tune what works best for me but so far I haven't lost anything to rot aside from a few seedlings at first start. On the other hand I've only brought my adeniums through one winter thus far.

Awww! Too sweet Marian! :) I'm sure someone will come along & send you a double brug. There are many people out there who are just now beginning to take cuttings from their brugs & it just takes one person to make the day of another! You know if I had one to spare - it would be yours! Next year - for sure! Mike

Was it outside over night? It looks like cold weather damage to me without any further data. Cut off the damaged leaves. It will send up new ones. This is one tough plant. I have two from funerals - one was in 1992 (Grandmother) and 1997 (Brother). I thought I lost both in 2007-ish from negligence or stupidity (not watering and then overwatering). I threw both on the compost heap. Over the summer the heap grew and grew. The next spring, my wife wanted me to move the compost heaps to somewhere else in the backyard. As I was digging, I found a green shoot about a foot down from the top of the heap. When I unearthed it, it was one of the peace lilies. A little further digging and I found the second one. I still have both of those today where they sometimes wilt (no water) and then back up after watering. These are very tough plants. Here is one of them back in early September.
