I have a houseplant which I moved into a larger pot (as it was consuming
the water very rapidly, it had outgrown the small pot). As soon as I did
this, the leaves have shrivelled up. AFAIK I'm not over or under watering
it, and there are no signs of beasties. What's wrong with it?


It would be helpful if we knew what the plant was, how long you have had it
and it's size.

and a picture.


I don't know what it is, it was given to me a year ago, and has flourished in all that time and grown larger. Only changing pot made it do this.
Here's a pictu http://petersphotos.com/temp/Shrivelled.jpg


Was the photo taken in summer?


No, just now, in winter. The room is 18C, 45% humidity.
