Hello to all, Robert your doing a good job up to now, I really think it's going to recover well.
Hey Mike i say not to use hot metal on adeniums since they are not as hard as the plumeria the harder the plant the less damage it would take from something hot thouching it, plumerias are much hard than adeniums even its greener parts, for some reasone the softer the tissue of the plant the easier it get damaged from heat, its like if heat transfer through the cell faster on soft tissue than hard tissue and if the tissue of the plants gets damage they do one of two thing, they dry out or rot. Usually rotting is was happens to the softer tissue before dry out because it contains more water in it. I'll try some experiment on some plumerias to see what works best and let you know as soon as I get the results.
Your Friend Wilfred
