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.

Purpling leaves in solanaceous veggies (tomatoes, peppers, Physalis)
can be phosphorous, pH, or temperature related.

But there is also a bit of leaf mottling which would make me get
out a hand lens to check for spider mites.
