My Desert rose is loaded with seed pods. What should I do with them?

I have a sick desert rose. It's leaves turn yellow and drop off. I treated for scale and I don't see anymore on it, but it's dropping it's leaves. If it loses all of them will it get new ones?

Well, something I realized after being freaked out when I saw mine drop its leaves, is this plant goes through dormancy. Hold off watering, until you see signs of growth. Keep dry with an occasional sip once a week, if that. When it starts having signs of growth, water more frequently and fertilize. I just use an African Violet liquid plant food for all my plants.

Adeniums need soil with good drainage, so they get water, but not sit in it...

I think the Adenium I got from my friend (my very first Adenium) is a Poseidon too. Take a look. What do you think?
