Expert Response

Thank you for your question. Shriveling leaves are due to inadequate water and/or insects such as aphids, which suck on the leaves to get food. Have you examined the leaves for insects? The leaves also appear to be yellowing, typically due to the plant not having enough nutrients (fertilizer). Have you fertilized regularly?

Good luck!
