Clay pots are a necessity for adeniums or succulents. How about Crown of Thorns or look in the different forums where you either have a big caudex or just under succulents.........any plant that needs to dry out quickly.

Your kitchen counter looks like mine. There is no room for food or anything else but plants.

I have a longer counter but I never use it just to fold clothes
Checked on my plants and I think only 2 haven't gotten back up and it looked dry so I put a little more water in . When I replanted I held them over the sink and put water in till it came out the bottom then I put back in the trays

Wow! You have had a very busy day! Look at all those plants! I know they will appreciate your hard work. Give them a day or two and I bet they will have perked up even more!

You can plant cactus in clay pots too. The desert kind that like dry conditions! Only problem with them is thorns!


Please keep us up to date on how your newly transplanted babies are doing! I bet they like their new little homes!
