Hi Guys,

Well in winter it loved the top step with morning sun only. It was very healthy.

The summer started to come and I could see the gradual diff, so I moved the pot into a little less full on sun????

I stopped watering it thinking that I might be overwatering. So, at the moment it gets morning sun but not for such a long period now.

They have hairy leaves and I thought I read somewhere that hairy leaves don't like water on their leaves?? That to clean them, clean them with a paint brush???

I did fertilize it with "Thrive" here in Australia (5ml to a litre of water). BUT, if I remember correctly, I watered all over the plant. Could that have done it?????

Any help appreciated because it is such a beautiful plant when it is healthy.
