One thing you could do is remove the fallen leaves off the soil so it won’t attract has many gnats. Maybe water more idk I don’t have that’s plant. And maybe see if it needs repotting. #### Victoria님이 2024-05-06에 답변했습니다. lol I never thought of gnats thank you! #### Plantgirly님이 2024-05-06에 답변했습니다. Your so welcome!! ### Marissa님이 2024-05-06에 댓글을 남겼어요. Mine also lost all of its leaves while acclimating to its new environment with me! Not sure why. Since then it has regrown some leaves and it’s now focused on flowering :) I would say keep it in the sun, let the soil dry out between watering, and cheer it on! #### Victoria님이 2024-05-06에 답변했습니다. oh that gives me so much hope thank you!!! ### Sunny님이 2024-05-06에 댓글을 남겼어요. The base trunk looks rough. I recommend checking the roots for rot. #### Victoria님이 2024-05-06에 답변했습니다. thank you! it was bought like that so I’ll definitely check that out! ### Mara님이 2024-05-06에 댓글을 남겼어요. Desert rose are susceptible to spider mites. Check for fine webbing between the leaves in combination with tiny spots on the yellowing leaves. #### Mara님이 2024-05-06에 답변했습니다. Also, for your safety, be sure to wear gloves when handling. All parts of the plant are highly toxic to humans and pets. ### Danuta님이 2024-05-06에 댓글을 남겼어요. It’s normal for them to lose leaves during transitions. Make sure the pot is well draining, otherwise don’t repot, they like being in tight pots. You can repot it at the end of the season. You can raise them some each repot and they’ll have a beautiful caudex. If you’re on facebook I highly recommend joining “desert rose adenium club” there are some amazing DR experts on there that’ll teach you so much about these ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/mrs3Q_eOkNiFO76XqE9uHUsmphchNLU6t5WgUw3Pftw/kvD-e8-7Rr-yacTkCcUHZg.webp?size=large) #### Danuta님이 2024-05-06에 답변했습니다. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/mrs3Q_eOkNiFO76XqE9uHUsmphchNLU6t5WgUw3Pftw/-jUvM8apSHyqlAwN8yQyXw.webp?size=large) #### Kase님이 2024-05-06에 답변했습니다. these are BEAUTIFUL, I’m moving to a new climate soon and I’m so excited to have plants like these 😭😫😫 #### Victoria님이 2024-05-06에 답변했습니다. thank you! I’ll definitely be joining that facebook group. Yours is beautiful!! #### Danuta님이 2024-05-06에 답변했습니다. Where are you moving to? I moved from Florida last year and I definitely am having withdrawals from my year round flowers 😩😩 #### Kase님이 2024-05-07에 답변했습니다. I live in TN now, it gets really cold here during the winter and into the spring/early summer. But we’re shooting for AZ in the next few years!
