My 1st baby from Brugie. Now about 4 1/2 feet and planted in the ground. In training to be a tree, it has 2 branches. One has pretty green leaves and the other has thicker, yellower, heavily veined leaves. My gut reaction is to ignore it and see what happens but I thought I would put it to the experts.
Gosh, you've got me!! Can't say I've ever seen one plant do that.
Weird huh-since they share a single stem? Still no buds though. What is it with this plant? I thought it was a goner for sure during the fires. Nursed it through critters and long hot days. (Squished a nasty hopper just today.) I am sure that by this time next year it will be a beauty. Everyone needs a problem child.
Have you checked to see if there is any damage to the branch/stem on that side. Sure looks chlorotic. Is the affected branch lower than the darker one? If so, it could be an iron deficiency...
Here is a lower shot. Looks fine to me.
Looks good except for the picture that is.
Is it getting girdled where the stake is tied to it?
Ah Ha- I little bit so I removed the tie.

Groove is on the side where the leaves are normal

That was what it looked like,best to pull it all together,see if it recovers.
I love the Pink plant at the bottom of the Brug!
Those are the polka dot plants, pink, white, and red. They will get about 3x bigger before blooming. After much failure with them. I was told to plant them with at least 2 different plants. It worked. these are 3 yrs old and we just hack them down once a year. They do not like to be lonely lol.
Pull it all together? I am not sure I know what you mean.
Sorry pull it off all together,the tie.
Oh, I did. Say, how did the reed orchids do?
They did not make the winter in the basement for me. :0(
That's too bad.
