The roots are firm and pale, it doesn't look like there is any root rot, I am attaching a photo.
The soil wasn't bone dry, nor was it wet (it does not stick together or hold shape), but I will improve drainage potential by adding more perlite. There was no standing water in the base of the planter and it felt very dry to the touch after pouring out the potting media.
My fear is that the adenium is going into early dormancy or is in shock due to its environment change, or maybe a combo of both
