Hi everyone!

Last time I posted about the leaves on my adeniums drying out. I started watering them twice a week, and it really did seem to help — even the smallest plant has put out new leaves and started growing.

However, now I’m having an issue with the biggest plant. Even some of its fairly new leaves are still drying out. At first I didn’t think much of it and assumed it was just leftover damage from when I had been underwatering them. But now one of the leaves from the second-newest “pair” of leaves has started drying out too, so it’s still a very new leaf and it’s already getting dry.

This is the only adenium whose roots are already coming out of the pot this much. Could it be that it still isn’t getting enough water? Should I water this specific plant more often? But, for example, right now the soil still hasn’t fully dried out yet, and I think I can even see something that looks like mold or something similar, which makes me think there might be too much moisture.

I would really love to put them in natural light, but unfortunately that’s not possible right now. If I water them once a week, it seems like too little water. If I water them every 4–5 days, it apparently becomes too much. Maybe my pots are not suitable because they don’t get enough airflow? Or maybe the soil mix isn’t right, even though I bought a mix specifically for adeniums?

Please help 😭
