Adenium seedlings are not really delicate or sensitive. In an emergency (say, someone knocked your pot off the shelf or a cat sat on your week-old seedlings), you can repot them anytime. If sowing and germination has been uneventful; you can wait a couple of months, maybe more. Usually though, seedlings in their cribs will start demanding more nutrients and the more aggressive ones will siphon supply off of their neighbours, leaving you with runts. To avoid this, it is usually better to move the seedlings into their individual pots after two to three months.

At two months, all 8(out of 10) seedlings have already developed an extensive root system. I'm glad I sowed them in a container deep enough to allow them to do this without getting tangled with each other. I didn't want to have to rip them apart. Even then, the seedlings were so close to each other, they would have been all tangled up if I had waited another month before separating them.
Preparations:
You will need:
➖➖➖➖➖➖
1.Potting medium (we discuss in separate video)
2.Pots (we discuss in separate video all possible alternatives)
3.Seedling( 2moths or above)
4.seedling transplanter(optional)
Potting Mix
➖➖➖➖➖
If you already have experience with gritty mix and you are wondering whether adenium seedlings will do well in them, the short answer is no. Seedlings up to a year old need way too much water to thrive in gritty mix, even the 5:1:1 version. So I use ordinary, store-bought potting mix, combined with a hefty amount of perlite at a the ratio of one part potting soil to one part perlite. This proportion qualifies this medium as sufficiently airy for adenium seedlings.
Digging Out Seedlings:
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
Loosen the soil in the germination pot by shaking it a bit. At this point, there is already enough roots in there to hold the soil together, you will need to dislodge them gently. Then, use a spoon to dig out the seedlings one by one. You want the soil to be a little moist so it doesn't fall off as you lift the plant with the spoon. I found that this reduces the possibility of ripping out the roots in the process. Then, you can carefully shake and brush off the soil, then wash the rest off gently in tepid water.
Choosing Pots
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
in this video we used ordinary plug tray, you can also use 4-inch plastic nursery pots, plastic cups or whatever you have lying round, really, as long as they are no bigger than 4 inches in diameter at the top. The reason for the size limit is this: the bigger the pot, the longer it will take for the soil to dry out and the longer your seedling roots will sit in sopping wet soil. This will make them rot-prone. I do not recommend clay pots because you will be repotting these seedlings again. They grow pretty fast.
If you decide to reuse plastic containers, you need to punch drainage holes in them. You will have to cover the holes with bits of screen to stop the soil from falling out.
Potting Up
➖➖➖➖➖
This is the best part.I have 8 seedlings I can play with. The smallest of the seedlings was potted normally, watered and set aside. Be careful not to bury the seedlings. The plant itself is clearly marked to tell you where the soil line should be when you pot it. Note the abrupt change in the color of the stem where it is exposed.
