JR, I didn't mean to imply that our zone numbers have any significance to my point. If I was in St. Louis, MO, where it is 106F, I would have my adenium outside. By the way, it's 100F in Thailand today, the adenium capital of the world. I'm just saying that you can't get this growing season back once it is gone. If significant growth doesn't matter to you, and you are just looking to keep them alive, and you are happy, keep them in the window. As a long-time gardener, I have learned that for me, it is important to take advantage of optimum growing conditions when I have them. Every March/April, my to-do list gets insanely long of all the things I want to get done while I have the growing season ahead of me. For me it is the busy time, as I know I won't be able to do things like root cuttings once I have lost the time. You can't get adenium to make a lot of progress in fall/winter, but you're right, there is always next spring. Happy gardening! Carol This post was edited by love_the_yard on Tue, Aug 6, 13 at 19:28

I got it from Florida Colors, I got Lani Beauty, Makaha Sunn, and Black Tiger, Carol told me I would be disapointed with Black Tigers performance in our heat, so I scrated it off the list right before she mailed them out. I wish someone who has Black Tiger in Texas would post how it does here. I love its color, and wish I could grow it. I called Carol last month to see if she had Raspberry Sundae, she did not. Barbra

I have just germinated about 50 D. elephantipes after many failures. I have repotted them into separate pots and they have all survived. They were about the size of yours and had a tiny caudex forming which must help to overcome the shock of repotting. My concern was the roots would become entangled if I left them together too long. Maybe you should repot those of yours that are close together in the tray and leave the others until the leaves die back before repotting separately. I keep my plants inside to protect them from the cold. If it doesn't freeze, they should be OK but we get frosts in our area. It took a couple of months to germinate the seeds.

Can you take a pic? No it’s not normal for it to feel squishy, but it also could be thirsty. When they’re in active growth they need regular watering. As soon as the mix is dry they’ll need a drink. Especially if it is a small one like in the OP’s pics.
