Hello everyone,

I have a desert rose plant (rescue plant) It was doing great until,My daughter went into labor & it was left outside day & night,got rained on 2 or 3 times.The temp's are as high as 80's and as low as 30's at night.I noticed this morning the bottom looked smaller and kind of sunk in on the sides.To the touch it's soft,the roots are not soft at all, they seem normal.

When I come home from the hospital with my daughter, I left it outside only during the day.I haven't watered it yet.Is this a sign of lack of water or a result of being wet to long.

If anyone has any advice or knows of a web site or even has an opinion of what i need to do, i would be so thankful.I don't want to loose this plant it was being thrown away because it was ugly (it was) tall,skinny,no limbs to have leaves on.

I hope the picture are at least good enough to see a little.I am awful with electronic's of any kind.

Have a good day
