Hi all,



Can anyone help with this Physalis plant. It has recently gone from a

lush bright green colour to having many mottled purple/brown leaves and

purple stems. I have re-potted it today in a pot with better drainage

but don't think this is really the problem.



It is the same variety as sold in shops in the UK with yellow sweet

fruits inside the husks, not the purple variety that is also grown.



It feels to me like a virus and don't want it affecting my other plant I

have bought since.



Any help much appreciated!

I would think it is about time for it to die. They are annuals you know.
