Desert Rose help!  
I got this plant last summer, and replanted it a few weeks ago from a plastic pot to this terracotta one roughly the same size (very well draining cactus mix). Watered it about 10 days ago and made some cuts to promote branching. However, the base of the stem is still slightly soft. It sometimes gets like this when it needs water, but I know it’s also a potential sign of overwatering.

Any advice on trunk maintenance/saving and maintaining this adenium?
