New Adenium plants bought online usually need a settling period before they start growing normally.
What to Expect
After delivery, the plant may:
– Drop leaves
- Look dull
- Take time to settle
- Grow slowly at first
What to Do
For a new online plant:
– Check the caudex
- Pot it in a fast-draining mix
- Give bright shade if needed
- Avoid heavy watering
- Wait for recovery before feeding
Final Advice
The first few days after delivery are about stability, not growth speed.
