ah ...almost certain fertilizer will clear up the blotchy shades of green ....
(still, if possible, check or ask the vendor what the phosphorus levels were....and also compare "chlorotic" or "chlorosis" leaf images )
Place plant near a south facing window where it will receive daily sunshine ... (east or west windows will work too, south facing, being preferred)
wait to water ....for the next 3 months ....resist the urge to water any amount, even "just a little"..... any water now, may kill it ...
Over that 3 months the caudex will begin to look wrinkled (a little or a lot ....like a raisin) .... and there may be a
void (or a "cavity") in the potting media beside or around the caudex ....and the caudex and main stem
will feel a little on the soft side ...but that's okay .....
when you water again, once the 3 months is up ....the wrinkled caudex / main stem will fill in (in less than a day) ...and the plant will perk up and look normal again ...minus a few / many leaves
adeniums have 2 seasons - wet & dry ....now, it is in its dry / dormant season -
in the summer, treat it like a tropical plant, and water at least once a week ...and if daytime high temperatures go above 90°, water at least twice a week
- Fertilizer -
during re-potting .... can recommend: Osmocote (NPK 14-14-14) ...... sprinkle in about 2 tablespoons, through all the layers of potting mix....no need to do it again until its time to re-pot
then, once every 2 weeks or so, instead of "just watering" - can recommend Miracle-Gro ~ All Purpose Plant Food (NPK 24-8-16) water soluble .....use either a watering wand & end of hose feeder attachment....or a bucket / pitcher ....
using both will take care of the plants nutritional needs .......
