@GigiAdeniumPlumeria. As I have mentioned before I no longer graft Adenium. I used to graft them but the very condition that you are seeing affected mine. After four or five years the grafted plants developed rot of one sort or another and eventually die. To be clear about this I am talking about mature plants that have had branches grafted to them. I have no experience in grafting seedlings. I have also had very poor results when I try to root mature stems of plants that have started to rot even though the cuttings showed no signs of rot. I do have a good number of six + years old stem cuttings on their own roots that were taken from non grafted plants. These plants develop good root systems that can be raised for effect. Also, I have a number of five + years old non grafted plants that developed rot that I was able to save even though they looked unsalvageable.

This photo is my oldest stem cutting (which also developed root rot a couple of years ago)

This is also a stem cutting, lifted to expose the roots.
