My beautiful promising plant went from this (right)
to this overnight.
The top shoot was hanging
down and fell off when I
picked the pot up for a closer look and I turned around a few minutes later to see that the big leaf was also now hanging down in a sorry fashion. What could cause such devastation in such a short time?
Well, it turned out to be a green caterpillar hiding inside the rolled up leaf.
Close up view of the damage…
and the top shoot that was bitten off.
