If your Adenium looks off, the fastest way to troubleshoot is to check the base, the soil, and the light first.
Step 1: Check the Base
Look for:
– Firm caudex
- Soft spots
- Smell of rot
- Damage near the graft
Step 2: Check the Soil
Ask:
– Is it too wet?
- Is it draining well?
- Is it heavy or sticky?
Step 3: Check the Light
Ask:
– Is it getting enough sun?
- Is it sitting in deep shade?
- Is it being moved too often?
