deepsouth said:water to saturation - once every 3 or so days ...

leaf curl is from under watering ...i see it more during the "dry" winter months

yellow can mean under or over watered ..... feel the soil ...if it feels dry - it is under-watered - conversely if it feels wet - it is over-watered

adenium will do much better outdoors with 6 plus hours direct sun light ...water to saturation when hot ....

insure pot has ample drainage ....check for one or more drain holes.... also want fast draining potting mix ...







Thanks for the help. My pot has a huge hole on the bottom, as for the potting mix I just use cactus soil, pumice, perlite, sand, and lava rocks mix together. Do you think it's a good idea to mix orchid mix? I was just thinking of that maybe it'll provide even better drainage ? I'm afraid to water them because of root rot, I killed one plant last year. 😑 I Have issues with my other adeniums too, the tip is turning yellow and brown, here are some of the other issues I have, the SECOND pic is the plant we are originally talking about notice how the caudex is now going inwards, and the other pics shows the sunlight they're getting, yellowing and new growth curls, I water all these once every two weeks:
