Hellow to all my Dear Freinds, long time I haven't been able to lock on, were'er having telephone cable problem right now, haven't had telphone for a month two month and a half already and they don't know when they can fi it, it funny that the internet works from time to time but it goes out also all the time.
Hey Robert, just by looking thru your photos the plant is not lost, i noticed that in some of your last photos you scraped a little of the skin on some of the roots and it's green, the ones nest to the one you pulled off a part of it, if you want to save it you have to cut off all the rotted part as soon as you can and leave it to dry off for two days at least,, put some rooting powder on the cut so it will dry faster, Oh befor I forget, I think what is killing your deset rose is a salt build up from the fertilizers you use or in the soil. I say this because iI notice a white ring around the base of the caudex of your plant and on the out side of your pot, This is cause from salt billed up, I recommend that you take a toothbrush and wash your adenium until you get most of it off the plant by brushing it with the toothbrush and water, do the same with the pot, also use new potting mix as the potting mix you had it in would have to much salt in it and it will keep damaging the root system. Just as a reminder to all, you have to give your plants a soil flush from time to time between fertilizing to avoid salt build up. to do this you only have to put lot of water and let it drain completly, I do this at least tree time to make sure all the salt has had a chance to drain out, than i let the planted plant dry out almost completely before watery again as normaly as I do. Afther you cut the rotted parts out and set it to cure, place it in a well ventilated area out of direct sunlight so it won't further dehydrate more than it has already, you can sray it with some water from time to time but don't get the cuts wet, hang it upside down so you don't get water drips on cuts. after you plant it keep soil most ownly and if you got superthieve for rooting use it in every watering until you see new leaves on your plant. Hope this helps you.
