@Aashna, I know how you feel. I have a really bad rot on 2 of my big adeniums and hoping they will recover nicely. Bad timing since we have daily rain now. I had the cut dry for 2 weeks. It still keep getting wet at the patio so one recovered right away, the other one the rot has progressed so had to let it dry and Callous longer. I will be posting progress at the The thread "Chats about Adeniums" in Adeniums forum
