Desert rose dying - what do I need to do

My desert rose is losing leaves very quickly. Brown spots at leaf tips or along edge just below tip. Even tiny new leaves appear distorted with dark brown spot on edge.
It started a month ago. I repotted and inspected roots - no discolor and is firm. It is in 50/50 cactus mix and perlite. Full central Florida sun and we are getting rain almost daily for a few minutes. No bugs that I can see now, but about a month ago was heavily infested with aphids but went away after using imidacloprid.
Plant continues to flower but not nearly like before
