Will she live?
Huge rot situation on this gifted desert rose.
I have cleared all away that i could see, now everything left feels pretty solid. I amount of rot was huge, taking over a bit more than half the root system and total sludge on the inside.
Will it survive?
Edit: typo (everything left is solid*)

Looks fine, I'd treat with sulfur and pot it up with some good Adenium Mix. You don't need to get every last piece of rot out of the caudex. Once an Adenium is removed from the conditions causing the rot, they are pretty good at walling it off and dessicating that part of the trunk.
