Day 259: My Adeniums are doing better insofar as hanging onto their foliage now that I've begun misting them daily. It stands to reason. They are a desert plant which in the natural setting receives very little moisture other than that in the air. However, when they are too dry, the leaves will drop or be stunted and curled. I won't say I have the magic formula, but at least they no longer resemble the potsful of sticks which make my friends wonder why I bother. "Plum Beauty" is a grafted cultivar. Mine is the tallest of the three Desert Roses living in my south-exposure kitchen window sill, a sheer delight to behold while I'm at the task of dish-washing.
