I've had this adenium for almost a year, and have really struggled with it! As soon as I brought it home, it dropped all of its many leaves and blooms. I re potted it into a fast draining "cactus/succlent" soil, mixed with pearlite, and charcoal. It rebounded and grew a bunch more leaves and I was quite pleased. Recently however, the leaves have started yellowing and dropping again, and I've noticed that blooms will seem to start, and then they'll dry up and drop off before they get very big. I have used an insect killing soap to get rid of mealy bugs, but I'm wondering if it might have some other disease? The bark in some spots is dry and damaged looking. I have included pictures, and appreciate any advice you can give! Thank you! -Laura
