My desert rose was left out side 6wks ago in a couple days of heavy rain.I noticed a week or 2 ago the cauldex was soft and seems to be shrinking.I have pulled it out of soil,roots aren't soft,nothing looks like it has rot.The plant has grown anew limb & produced leaves on it.I changed the potting medium to an even better draining mix of bark, horticultural charcoal,rock and tiny bit of loam.It still seems to be getting smaller without harming the leaf growth.

Any advice or thoughts on my Desert Rose are greatly appreciated !!! Group hug
A green thumb comes only as a result of the mistakes you make while learning to see things from the plants point of view!!
