| That is going to be a great looking plant with the root system. Not sure if they do the interesting root manipulation with 'Obesum's' or just Arabicums/Thai soco's. Take a look at Adeniumsindia.com. They have some very interesting photo's and description of training roots for a particular look. They hang them for up to a month and the roots become more maliable and they use bamboo sticks to hold roots where they want when repotted. Quite an art in Thailand and other countries. Rick |

| How long does it take for a root system like that to develop? I don't think I have the patience and fortitude for that kind of project but it is a curious thing. |

| I had to laugh reading these messages in order. Just my sense of humor of lack of. Someone not into plants would think we where talking of a person. Only Adenium aholics or plant lovers would appreciate. Rick By the way that is one special plant you have there. |

| Rick yes, I see what you mean, it does read as if a person is being described, lol! We often talk about ones good set of roots, fat bottoms etc., what are we like?? Michelle, welcome to the forum. What a find, that's a great looking plant you have there, it will be interesting to see it develop even further. How big is it, it looks HUGE? Are you planning on un-potting it to see what else lies below or have you done this already in your picture? |
