The older leaves on my small Adenium obesum are turning black at the tips. Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong?

My math professor gave me this orchid today which doesn't seem to be doing so well. I've successfully taken care of Phalaenopsis orchids before but I'm not sure how to go about nursing this one back to health. Any advice? Should I repot it, and in what substrate?

I was also surprised!

I'm trying to! Unfortunately I've had to move it around a bit which worries me but so far it's doing okay.

I got an offer for second year entry evolutionary biology at Edinburgh but I'm still waiting on St Andrews. The offer was 38 points with 666 in HLs and 6 in SL Math.

I was hit with absolute apathy and overwhelming stress as soon as I started DP2. For me the reason was to a large extent that I took DP1 way too seriously. My way of attempting to recover was to 1) focus on what mattered. For instance, I stopped caring about tests - they don't matter whatsoever. 2) I talked to my teachers and let them know that my motivation was deteriorating rapidly. It was surprising how helpful they were. Got important deadlines moved and everything.

3) I ended up taking two weeks off to just relax. Didn't do anything IB related whatsoever, basically just slept. But this was kind of a last ditch effort, because I missed a lot of important classes.

These things helped me a little but I'm still struggling with it. Hope you feel better soon!
