I have a desert rose that I pruned because it was wilting. It’s been two months, it hasn’t grown and it hasn’t died, just gotten pruny. Any way to save it and make it grow?

I usually put ours outside in the spring and it perks up and starts taking off , might try that

It looks a little wrinkly, which may be a sign of it needing water. But it also has that moss, which retains moisture. I would remove the moss and check the roots. Some of the tips look like they are drying out. If that is the case, I would cut off the dry parts, put cinnamon on the wound, and let them dry. Repot it in fresh airy soil and a terracotta pot and put it outside.
