I am growing a double purple that came from the co-op and could use some help with it. It has a branch growing from the caudex that is blooming single pink and white flowers. The grafted branch is a very nice double purple. I am wondering if I should cut off the single blooming branch? Is there a special way to do it so it won't grow back? Would it be best to wait until the double branch is done blooming? The plant is going to be rather ugly without the single branch. Is there a way I can get it to branch out more and look better? I am fairly new to growing adenium, although I do have one that has lived a number of years inspite of my poor care.

Here is the plant with the two types of blooms.
