I've been babying this Adenium for about 8 months now. It was full of buds and I figured I'd get a wonderful show. The most I ever got was 9 flowers open at once. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to enjoy riding back and forth from AZ to NM. I've kept it under the LED light, and watered faithfully with distilled water. It uses a lot of water. This last week has been 70's outdoors here in NM so I have been putting it out for some sun in the daytime and taking it inside at night as we are still in the 40's.

Today I noticed lots more browning of the leaves. Many of the buds have turned brown and are falling. We did have some good winds while it was outdoors. Could that have caused all this?There are no obvious insects. It's so ugly and sad looking now that I'm thinking of pruning it back down and re-potting again. If I did that it might recover by summer. What do you all think?
