Well, something I realized after being freaked out when I saw mine drop its leaves, is this plant goes through dormancy. Hold off watering, until you see signs of growth. Keep dry with an occasional sip once a week, if that. When it starts having signs of growth, water more frequently and fertilize. I just use an African Violet liquid plant food for all my plants.

Adeniums need soil with good drainage, so they get water, but not sit in it...

I think the Adenium I got from my friend (my very first Adenium) is a Poseidon too. Take a look. What do you think?
