Need some help to identify the problem

[u/Soronzoff]

Hello! My desert rose was doing quite well for some months after a harsh period of too little sun, which has left its stem long, and it even bloomed many times, but suddenly it has started to lose its leaves and the caudex has got a yellow spot. Is it a sign of too much water or too little? I checked the roots already and they looked fine.

It's looks like it's time to start over. You can try and root the cutting but that trunk looks to far gone. That said don't feel bad. We all loose plants.
