So, I recently received a new good size Desert Rose from someone I previous ordered from. The previous order was in good health and is still doing fine.
This order, however, when it arrived I noticed alot of black in the caudex and roots. So, I opened it to clear out the fungus -the whole caudex was empty and mush, along with the roots and a couple to the stems. So, by the time I cleaned it all out and cut out the black areas not too much left. So, I cinnamon it and it is sitting airing out. I got a hold of the person who sold it to me and sent her the before pics and after pics of the cleaning out. I do not hold much to it surviving-but, I am trying. So, we shall see.
I am enclosing some b before and after pics.
