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.


It looks to be suffering from lack of water but it could equally be too much
water which has rotted the roots, the symptoms are the same. Quite a dry
atmosphere for a tropical plant too, not near a radiator by any chance?
