Your expert opinions and ideas please - this little catt was another of my bargain rack rescues. Has been healthy and happy - and green! - for a couple of months at least. I left it ignored along with everyone else this last week while I was at a sailing regatta and today find its leaves turning reddish purple. Not just spots and freckles, but almost the whole leaves.

It's been on the top shelf of a wire shelf unit that gets some sun for most of the afternoon, through the pool cage screening - reduces intensity by about 20%. All anybody's had all week was a quick misting. None of the others are turning this color. We have had sun, but cool weather for the last 3 days, and it rained Tuesday night very nicely.

Could this be just a reaction to too much sun? Or should I send him to Coventry for a week for quarantine? Already moved him to the shade this morning but that's all I've done. No sign of bugs or fungal activity. (it's been dry and cool, not conducive to either)
