Hello, this is my first post and I’m not thrilled it’s an emergency post. (Emergency for me, because I love my Desert Rose)
I’m from the Central Valley, Calif.. I have had my desert rose for 10 years. This all started when our weather was extremely foggy and cold every day, no sun whatsoever. My desert rose has been inside in the only window that gets good light. I make it a habit once a week to check for, “squishiness“. About eight days ago, I found the base and main stock of the plant to be slightly squishy. The soil has been dry and well draining and I hadn’t watered it for three weeks prior to me finding it this way. I jumped on a Facebook form (most everyone is from Australia) and followed all their instructions, but the plant seems to be deteriorating. It’s getting worse by the day. Today is the first day of no rain and it is clear and sunny, but 34° with a high of 53° today. Last Saturday I took the plant out of the soil and cut away all the soft parts and brown parts and applying cinnamon. (Sadly I had to trim a lot) the plant now has mold in some of the spots where the skin has loosened from the stock of the plant and torn open. The ends of the plant stems are still very
firm. I need to find out how to save my plant, I really don’t want to loose my guy. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!
