Her name os Rachel

This is my mom's desert rose. She has had this for a while now and it will get flowers buds like pictured but then they dry out. It has never fully bloomed. What can we do help it.

I have some absolutely BEAUTIFUL blooms on my desert roses. However, the last 2 days I've noticed alot of yellowing leaves which fall off. Am I over watering? Not watering enough? I just need some help and advice. My plants seen to be thriving but this yellow falling leaves can't be good right? I'm a newbie with desert roses but absolutely LOVE them!! Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Found this at Home Depot with a seed pod on it!

I got this little guy in the mail. Bareroot. It was dry i watered it a little and let it sit in the window a few days. Potted it up. Put it in the sun. It did start raining and got really cool at night. Not freezing. I checked it this morning. The stem is a bit mushy, not real mushy. The roots are firm/ white and the potting mix is dry. There was some new growth on the tiny leaves but that is dry now. Should I water it? Should I feed it?

I’m in Central FL and I’m stumped on what to do with these. I didn’t prune this winter and they only seem to be pushing out flowers and not any limb growth. should I do any pruning now? Recs are appreciated.

Just got this and finally was able to pot it up and I noticed this. What is this? Is this rot? Please help!!!

My father found this one on the side of the road probably 20 years ago. It has always blessed us with amazing blooms. This year is no different.

I'm so excited about this beauty I found at my local garden center! I can't believe how happy/healthy it is! The chunky base, the amount of branches, it looks like it has never been pruned before!

The soil it is in, looks a little too organic from what I have read (I'm fairly new to these plants but I have a lot of succulents). It looks like it has osmocote in it. The greenhouse I purchased it from was more diffuse light than direct sunlight, but this plant was grown elsewhere, it says Texas on the tag, I feel like it was definitely grown in full sun right? It is currently placed on the front porch, west facing, receiving a few hours of direct sunlight. I wish there was a way to determine how many hours of direct sunlight different parts of my yard received. It's not as easy as just placing it on the south side because a building and a fence cause shade depending on where I put things. Anyway, any pruning or care tips appreciated!

Also, is it normal that there are two different shapes of leaves on this plant? The larger ones at the top are wider than the smaller ones near the base.

I will post an update in a few days. She blooms beautifully every year and produces seed pods each year too. I call her Rachel! I have had her 4 years.

Hi I'm new here, just thought id post some of my adeniums collection. Please share advice, suggestions, thank you.
