Help my desert rose

12 years ago

I got my desert rose about two weeks ago. It looked rather healthy when it came home with me, but now has lots of little brown spots underneath the leaves, and even some yellowing on the tops. I keep it inside at night, but since I don't have any direct sunlight spots in my house, place it outside during the day. I have checked it all over and don't see any bugs. I have watered it twice since bringing it home.

I have some photos. It I don't know how to upload them. I am new to this forum.

There is a dedicated adenium forum now, I would start there. I have 6 desert roses. I bought them over the Internet, they came bare rooted. when I got them potted, each one dropped all it's leaves. I think it might be part of adjusting to there new environment.

Juniper, try the link below to the new Adenium (desert rose) forum where several experienced people can best help you.

Lucas is probably right that it's just adjusting to the new environment.

Here is a link that might be useful: Adenium/Desert Rose forum
