Very useful thank you. I was afraid cutting the roots off would let the plant die for sure. Let me get straight to work!

[marthanorris]

Yes thanks for the pointers..I have been working on my desert rose trying to save it....

[claudettebean]

Yes my desert rose was very large and all of a sudden it fell over. Many many caudex just wet and rotted.

I have it set out to dry out. I will now start to cut off all the rotted trunk and caudex

Thank you

Excellent video I'm going out to do it now

Just found your channel. It looks like it’s been 3 years! Would you show us how the plant turned out ?

[rosier.]

I hope I can save mine 😢 Thanks for the advise 🙏

[lindamurray]

Thank you for a very informative video. I have two huge desert roses (20-30yrs) and the caudex looks iffy on one. Would that be why its not a prolific bloomer?

[budle]

Ooof... had a big chunk of the caudex rotten due to the wet season. Don't really want to cut it off.

I guess I have to. -.-

Also, I was surprised to the voice. Sounds like it doesn't belong to the face. 😅
Thanks for the vids.

Hello, very interesting video. I have cut my desert rose because the roots were rotten. Now I have three unrotten stems, I let them dry and now I'll put them into the soil. If I'm not using hormone, will I see results? Thanks

[sunburstorange]

Not so sure if you updated this video? I’m curious of the outcome

[carolficorilli]

My whole caudex was rotted out. I got the plant that way from the nursery and I am trying to fix it-I let them know and gave them pictures.

I need help saving my desert rose please😢. I haven't came across any videos on how to save desert rose branches. My desert rose got soft from the branches down to the it's trunk. Yes I cut off the branches. Or any where that was soft. I sprinkle a generous amount of cinnamon. What should I do next? Am I able to save those desert rose? Please help😢

[evelynchew]

Thanks for your video. I cut off the rotted part of the caudex and it has been drying for 4 days. However, I am noticing that the caudex has become soft. Should I be concerned? Thanks.

Great Video - Please can you make a video on how to save the plant if the leaves are starting to brown at the tips. I don't know what to do. I don't want it too die. I just bought it.

[mariamontes]

Hi I enjoy this video but what if my desert rose branches are flimsy I took my rose out of soil and cut what i cut just letting it dry off

[dodiLellis]

This is very informative, thank you!! I just noticed a root rot in my grafted desert rose, I just didn’t know what to do. Now my question is, it’s January, but it’s indoors, shall I wash the roots first then dry prior to pruning?

Hi, thank-you for your videos. I have only just recently started buying adeniums and I had to buy them from a different state because they don't have them here in Melbourne. So I asked for them to be sent out bare rooted. I have repotted them and finding that some are not doing too well. Some the leaves are yellowing and also look like brown marks on them too. I have not been overwatering them. Do you think they are just transplant shock?
Do you recommend watering them with Epsom salt? I heard that it can help.

How long do you dry it out prior to cutting out the rot? I have a plant that I’m hoping to save and I just pulled it out to dry today.
