It sounds very similar from the description you have given. In what way
is the response to frost and drought different?


With frost, the leaves go limp and change colour overnight and
recover the following day. With drought, they do neither, but
sort of shrivel - and it is not reversible.

I have seen that mainly in Cyclamen coum, but some other plants
have a hint of the same behaviour.
