Welcome! to the Adeniums forum

Where are you located ?

Your plant looks okay .... but during the summer months adenium need a lot of water .....step up watering depending on outdoor temperatures

Adeniums have only 2 seasons > wet - and - dry

wet = the active growing season (summer months in the northern hemisphere) water adeniums like a tropical
dry = the dormant season (winter months in the northern hemisphere) treat adeniums like a cacti

~ water - at - outdoor temps

keep track of local temperatures ~

70's water once every 10 days or so
80's water once every 7 days or so
90's water once every 5 days or so
100's water once every 3 days or so

cut back watering if night temps dip into 50's / 40's

count any rainfall as a watering day

place plant where it can get plenty of sunshine
