Once the Adenium's roots have dried, and should be a little soft, you might want to pry them apart a little. They squeeze and constrict the roots that are under them. I use chicken bones to keep them apart, hahaha. I eat the chicken, boil the bones for an hour or more, bury the bones in a pot of dirt for a week or two, then they are far gone enough to not stink or anything. Once they are 'at work' holding the roots where you want them, they gradually rot, becoming fertilizer.

Here's a funny photo of a limb coming up from a cut---
