Last year, that is what happened to one of my plants.
Big beautiful pant. It got the powdery milden
(I have copper spray for that this year), the leaves
dies off, and new growth came back. The new growth
came back with small shriveled leaves as described.
The plant never did recover.

I will extra water in case the plant is suffering from
too litter water and too much heat.
