I blamed it on the stress of moving to a new environment, plus the media had broken down so I repotted it, twice!! Now it is in a new media with leca and bark.
Yeah, stressed plants do that.

The bad potting media, repotting it twice, that can make the flowers and the buds blast out.

I would've done either the bark or the LECA unless there was a reason why you tried both.

That is pretty good news.

Even if all the leaves fall off, as long as the roots are fine, your plant is still alive. I wouldn't be so quick to get rid of it yet. If all the roots dies, and there are no leaves, then it is truly dead.

Sometimes one good leaf is all it takes.

I'm not sure if what I'm seeing in the 1st photo is what I think they are or not, but your plant looks like it has mealie bugs hiding in the crown of the plant. That could be part of the reason why the leaf fell off.

There is no cure for the purple patch because it is normal plant pigmentation. It is called anthocyanin.

No, it isn't. It is anthocyanin pigmentation.
