Thank you James, I will definitely be following your advice when I decide to prune. I may hold off now because you mentioned it may postpone flowering, and this will help me determine what I want to do with each of them.
I must say it is a huge relief to hear you both say they look good and healthy. As mentioned before I was concerned on there size and thought they may be stunted, and this came from watching some youtube videos of marias garden where her 6 month adeniums looked so much larger than mine do. But I guess that's what happens when one looks at there plants multiple times a day for 3 months straight, it makes it very difficult to judge scale relative to time.
I will say, and maybe it's because they're very young still, but the one I experimentally placed in the mini bonsai pot seemed to react very fast to its transplant. The mixture in that pot is 1:1:2 (river sand, coco coir, vermicast). I tried to be very gentle with the transplant and added cinnamon to the root mass when moving it. I then poked around with a dulled toothpick to try and get the substrate to fill in the voids in the root mass. This was a technique I saw on another youtube video, and i'm not sure if it was necessary for this small of a plant but regardless i'll take it as practice. I then left it for two days in the grow box before watering it. My wife had to kindly remind me to leave it alone as I wanted to water it sooo bad because it was so dry. Anyhow I did this about 1 month ago and noticed roots already exiting the bottom of the pot this week... Should i re-pot this one already? It is the fourth obesum down in the photo with the oval pot.
Also the white plastic pots I currently have the rest in are 3.5inch for the smaller sized pots, and 4.25inch for the larger ones. I know you said to re-pot when they bust out but... i'd like to keep them for future plants if I could. Is there a better indication as to when they should be re-potted?
