When I visited my mom today, I noticed her oldest adenium was in trouble: the center branch had root rot.
I asked her to let me 'operate' on it, hoping to save the plant, which in spite of the rot was full of flowers. It broke my heart to cut off those branches as well, but I thought it was best to just let the plant attempt to start anew.
I have no photos of the process, but I just took some, I'm hoping you guys can give me suggestions as to how to give it a chance for survival.
I took it home, and I now have it bare, on my inside patio, but I'm thinking of moving it to the garage. Would that be a good place? How long should I wait before potting it again? By the way, I did sprinkle cinnamon, just like Hetty suggests, on all the cuts.
By the way, doesn't it have a cool caudex? Please help me save it!
