Mushy Desert Rose!!!

19 years ago

I live just southwest of Houston, TX in Stafford. My beautiful Desert Rose plant is in dire straits! It has bloomed beautifully for the past 3 to 4 years but something happened to it over the winter and the ends of the branches are mushy and some of the roots feel mushy. I read other postings and took it out of the pot as instructed and am letting it "dry out" in the shade for a few days. Because I love this plant so much, I a bit fearful about the "hacking away" aspect. Could someone please give me some instructions on how best to cut away the roots and save my plant? I have pictures but I'm not sure how to post them here! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
