Penumbra, There ain't nuttin' wrong with your plants! The only thing your plants need right now is SUNLIGHT and FERTILIZER. Wean them into full direct sunlight so they get it all day and you will be amazed! They love sunlight. Then fertilize. I use a water soluble fertilizer -- usually 20-20-20 -- about every week using a slightly weaker solution than the box says. This advice is known as fertilizing "weekly weakly." Any fertilizer with a larger middle number will help with blooms. A fertilizer with the first number higher than the 2nd and 3rd numbers such as 20-10-8 will promote green foliage rather than flowers. DON'T FREAK when it loses leaves. The leaves turn yellow and drop off in response to a change in environment or a change in seasons or because you looked at it cross-eyed. Even if the plant has no leaves and looks dead -- IT ISN'T. Give it light and water and good drainage and it will come back. Adeniums are hard to kill. The only problem I've ever had is one that became mushy. I cut out the mushy part with a knife, sprayed with fungicide, kept the cut dry till it healed over, and then treated it as usual. I still have it and it blooms! The plant you say was 'pot bound' is how I get my adenium caudexes to take on funky shapes. After leaving in a pot long enough to cause the caudex to 'circle' I pull my adeniums up out of the soil and set them higher in the soil to make a bigger caudex -- about once a year. Leaning is fine. Not watering for a couple of weeks likely won't make the stem flexible. I have an adenium I left UN-POTTED ALL WINTER (inside) and it never got flexible. I potted it this spring and it's even blooming already! If you don't like the leaning plant, cut it off below where it leans. It will branch at that point and give you more limbs that each will bloom. That was the hardest thing I did to my first adenium -- cut it back. After a couple of years, it was very leggy and not blooming and I was advised to cut it back. I did. It went nuts putting out limbs and each one put on multiple blooms and some of those got fertilized and made seed pods from which I have grown many plants! Good luck!

Actually, I'm starting to think it's a problem of being underwatered... late last summer when I had the same problem, I greatly reduced watering, and nothing changed. I checked the soil (gritty mix) again and it's totally bone dry. I had been watering pretty frequently, but very little each time - maybe only 20-30ml each time. The trunk only started to become a lot more solid when I began watering about a month ago, so maybe I just need to water a bit more each time I water. There are lots of new, white roots growing and no new signs of rot... it had been unusually sunny for about 2 weeks so perhaps the plant needed a bit more water during this period? I'll try watering a bit more each time I water, and maybe reduce the frequency a bit. Will keep you posted on how this goes... Thanks again for the suggestions!

I expected you to tell me some sort of printing machine, that is super neat writing. Am I right in thinking you are an academic type of person lol and someone who likes their butterflies ;)

@everdebz thank you! Yes, they are new lamps :) I could remove the martini glasses from above the cabinets; they’re those Lolita hand painted glasses that I’ve collected and have been given as gifts over the years and I’m just not sure where else to go with them?
