    after washing the dirt off them and separating all the extra tree roots that were stuck in number 3 i found that number 1 had some root rot and number 3 had HEAPS! i had to cut alot of roots off. I potted up 1 and 2 in some pots i had around and will prune them when the weather gets abit warmer. Because i cut so much roots off number 3 i am going to wait for it to dry out abit before i pot it up. I dono how that one will go. We shall see. Here is a pic of 1 and 2 potted up...

    Hi,
    I think that when they see the result of the care you will give to your gift plants they may ask for them back. Best of luck with them and keep us posted.

    There was about 5 roots rotted. A couple were medium sized the others were quite big. I had to cut a lot of the root base off the plant.

    Fantastic = nothing like getting free adenium. I'm sure with your care they will be really happy. Hope to see future updates.
