These are my largest Adenium Obesums. I am on the fence whether to lift and expose the caudex or just let them be. Do you guys think its time for a re-pot? They have been in those pots for about 2 years now.
Hi
I got my first Desert Rose late last week.
I repotted it the day after I got it, and gave it a little bit to drink I didn't want to overdue it.
Well it dropped all the leaves it had and is down to 1.
It gets plenty of sun full indirect for about 8 hours everyday.
This is not my first plant just my first Desert Rose.
Anything I can or should do to game or healthy and happy?
I woke up to find a big branch had splintered and sort of broken. What do I need to do to make sure the rest of the plant doesn’t suffer? Do I need to cut the broken branch off? Tie it up somehow? Seal the main trunk where it broke off? Can the broken branch be replanted and propagated? This is a very large plant that I need to save.
Got them from HD, Lowe’s, and local nurseries. Anyone knows the variety names? Thanks!
Hi everyone! I got this plant about 3.5 weeks ago. It’s still in the nursery pot and has been watered once (was bone dry). I noticed after about a week and a half that the leaves started to turn first yellow then brown, and it’s gotten slowly worse. It’s in my indoor sun room, so medium to bright indoor sun most of the day. Please help!
hi yall! So i bought this on sale and was wondering if its okay? The bottom of the trunk is yellow and soft? and i was wondering if it’ll live or it’s done?
or did i kill it by taking it out of its dirt? :( i’m letting it dry out for a day and then will put it in some dirt
Hi everyone. Thanks so much for the post freezing advice earlier this year! My desert rose has bounced back and is thriving!
One branch has 8 pods growing right now. Has anybody had a branch support that many?? There are 18 pods in total right now.
The leaves just below where the flowers have bloomed have all turned yellow, below that they are green all the way down to the base. Only the leaves closest to the flowers are yellow.
On a different plant the green leaves have started having wavy edges.
I water once or twice a week depending on if the soil feels dry. I live in the tropics and the plants get sun from mid morning to the evening. Am I over/under watering, too much sun?

Any tips are appreciated. I live in southern Nevada and the weather has been a bit of a roller coaster. It’s finally been reliably above 50f at night so I have put her out to get real sun. I her the plant positioned in a protected spot that gets interesting direct light. I spent weeks trying to garden it to this area by putting it outside for periods of time during warm enough days.
My issue is that now that it’s been out for the week I’m getting leaf crisping, yellowing and leaf drop. 😔 Maybe my spot still has too much intense light. Haaaalp!
Hello,
Any ideas how to help my desert rose. It get direct sun light, I gave it a little water last night but leaves are still turning yellow.
I’m in Central FL and I’m stumped on what to do with these. I didn’t prune this winter and they only seem to be pushing out flowers and not any limb growth. should I do any pruning now? Recs are appreciated.
I just got this desert rose from Walmart and I have a grow light coming tomorrow to help it feel more at home. Is it normal for it to look this bare?
