Hi kayintx! Thanks for the additional info.

Typically, I do not mind if my Adeniums gets rained on, once it is wide awake already and leafing actively and as long as I am sure the plant has really good well draining media. Unless your forecast is really days of torrential rains, then I would try to protect it. But if it is just for short duration of rain, the plant can take it, it is already awake, and I will allow it to receive as much sun as it can, it loves the sun and heat. I would be cautious of getting it too wet as you said if the temps are forecast to be cold like below 50F. Above 50F, the plant can handle it, since it is not dormant.

Without a photo, I have no way to gauge if your plant is still young that it needs more watering so it is having a soft spot. And you have already done the taking it out of the pot to dry out too.

I guess for now, just allow the plant to get as much sun as it can get. What type of soil did you use for your plant?
