My Adenium plants particularly matured plants leaves are turning yellowish and shedding, where as most young seedlings which are in 40 % shade do not have similar problems. My questing is can I do the grafting now or should I wait?

Prabhi,
I would check your adult plant that are shedding their leaves to see if it is caused by insects and also the soil that they are in. If you have not changed the soil for quite sometime, it may need to be replenished.
Are you wanting to take cuttings from your older plants to use for cuttings?
Using you seedlings for grafting and if so, how old are they?
The best time to do any grafting is when they are in active growth. Also, timing it so that once you have made the grafts that you will still have good weather for further growth. In the West Indies I would imagine that you would.

The adult plants have no disease leaves gradually turn to yellowish and drop off this has been the since started grow for the past 4 to5 years. The young plants may be a year old bought from a vendor who wants a plant grafted, he grow his plants under shade. Would try grafting this week end. Would post the progess.

The yellowing leaves might mean the plant needs iron in its fertilizer ....

Can get the iron needed with a fertilizer containing the micro-nutrients (or trace minerals): iron (Fe), boron (B), chlorine (Cl), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni)

Could also be water stress .... if soil is dry, plant needs water - but - if soil is wet, hold off for a longer period before the next watering

I would wait on grafting - at least until the yellowing corrects itself
