hi,
im new to the whole adenium craze too but while looking for the same info i came across a thread where they were asking what a member grew the monster adenium she has in and she said she used the mix below. i think this is what i will plant my seedlings in.
this is a thread that is about a year old but i hear nothing but good things about it around here.
others may have other options there is a lot of good advice here.

Here is a link that might be useful: soil mix link

hi
i used cacti mix with a little bit of osmocote thrown in there... i didnt water the adenium until the leaves stopped dropping from the transplant shock, and new leaves started to emerge... it worked for me - i have new huge leaves coming out everywhere.

Thank you both for the quick replies. Not sure I can find all the ingredients for the mix, but I'll look around.

Any ideas on the clay pot? good? bad?

I have my DRose in the mix recommended above, Al(tapla) potting mix and I love it. I have practically every container plants I have in that mix. It is very hard to find the products at first, but once you find them it is well worth the effort. I water my DR really well, then let it dry out, but with this mix it is very fast draining and I don't need to worry about root rot...

I have mine potted in plastic pot, but either way if fine. The clay will dry out faster, so keep that in mind and decide which will work out better for you and your area.

Here's a couple of pics of mine...Close up of trunk- you can see the potting mix I use
