Rainy season care is different from summer care because the main threat is not heat, but excess moisture and slow drying.
What Changes
In rainy weather, Adenium often faces:
– Less direct sun
- Slower drying
- Higher humidity
- More root rot risk
What to Do
During rainy season:
– Reduce watering
- Keep the pot sheltered from heavy rain
- Use fast-draining soil
- Watch the caudex closely
- Move the plant where airflow is better
What to Avoid
Avoid:
– Watering on a fixed schedule
- Leaving the pot in standing water
- Using heavy soil
- Keeping the plant in a wet corner
Final Advice
Rainy season care is about keeping the plant dry enough to stay healthy.
