Curling new leaves! ( photo / image / picture from KK Ng's Garden )
Just a couple of days before I noticed that all the new leaves were curling and drying up, couldn't find any visible pest on it so I guess the vegan vampires must be the culprit. The weather was cool so it cannot be any heat causing this.

While inspecting the plant, I found that it had started to flower again and there were quite a few of them. The foilage is still very thick anf I thiink it will have a hard time growing the fruits in such confine spaces.

Since the time I almost made the plant naked, it had grown back it's foilage but in terms of height just a coupple of miserable centimeters. I wonder whether the weather here is suitable for this species .....

Coming back to the vegan vampires, I had the plant sprayed with my mix of garlic, onions, dish washing liquid and red wine. The next day most of the affected leaves fell off and I continued with the spray. So far so good, no more curly drying out leaves. I wonder what is next!!
