I was given a desert rose just before christmas. It was not looking very happy. Instructions said keep it dry in winter. After a couple weeks I watered it a little bit and it perked up. I watered it a bit more. Now it's looking sad again - leaves drying up and going yellow, and the fat bit of stem is shrivelling a bit. Poking around in the soil it's pretty dry but not bone dry - the stem doesn't seem mushy just soft/shrivelled. It's where I work so I can keep an eye on it - which is probably too warm for it to go dormant, it's in a west facing window but that's probably not really enough light in January.
Should I - keep it where it is, try watering it again?
Or move it somewhere cooler, no water?
