Last summer I bought a Monrovia shrimp plant (justicia brandegeana).

I take it that the leaf is turgid, and not just limp from lack of water.

Patty, turn the leaves over and inspect the underside carefully for signs of
infestation. I'm going to guess whitefly or aphics. High N can do it, too,
as can some viral infections.

Monrovia is the name of a giant nursery company... not part of the plant's
name, fwiw.
