Adenium dropping leaves

10 years ago
last modified: 10 years ago

Bought an adenium 10 weeks ago and then I repotted it because it was root bound and the pot it came in was misshapened. Now some of the leaves are turning yellow and dropping. Ive placed it indoors, near my phaelanopsis orchid and near (not directly) under artificial light. So, Why is this happening? Am I losing this plant?

    Hello Lillian.....what type of mix did you repot into, and the type of pot, did it have drainage holes? Have you watered it since the repot and was the mix already moist? Can you add some location info after your user name via your homepage as this helps us give specific info if needed? Sorry for all the questions!

    Hello & Thank you so much for your helpful comments. My zip code is 77541 and accordingly, it says my climate zone is 9. I used regular potting soil to top it off and the pot I used had some drain holes and an in-built bottom cover. I try to water it once week. I just don't understand the leaves turning yellow and falling

    Im not the best gardener and I don't garden really but I do love plants especially inside my home.

    Thank you again....

    (I took the plant outside for these pictures and as you can see in the last photo, it dropped another leaf as well as the yellowing )

    ....Maybe It needs sunlight???

    You are just a short drive from me. I'm in Galveston.

    These plants truly do need as much sun as possible.

    So jedobaTX9b...what you are saying is that I should start placing this adenium outside in my porch or in full sun? Now, I have another problem; the flowers are falling from the climbing evergreen wisteria I bought at Lowes and ironically, I bought it for my porch ALL BECAUSE of the flowers and their fragrance...

    (....argh! I'm such a gardening failure! )

    Don't discount yourself!

    With a little time and reading here, and other places, you will know plenty about these, and other plants!

    I have some easily grown indoor plants. If you are ever in this area, I could give you cuttings of them.

    Well, thank you jedobaTX9b but I'm in Oyster Creek although I do go to UTMB in Galveston from time to time. Do you mean u have adenium cuttings or indoor plants in general? I have purchased some from LOWES these past few weeks altho I can't seem to find a mid-sized Bamboo Palm or Lady Palm and had to settle with this Majesty Palm for my small living room which I am now contemplating returning after reading more about it online. Pls feel free to email me (platjadequeen@yahoo.com) if you still feel generous about your plants and help....thank you so much again!

    PS Now I'm concerned about that wisteria I bought
