Hi, I have a nice plant of Damien in a large pot sunk in the garden. This spring it has been blooming nicely, and put up a gigantic new stem with huge lush leaves back in March.

That stem stopped at about 3ft, and now it is putting on little narrow leaves that are curled at the edges. The big leaves are crepe-y and are a mottled, sickly color. Usually the only problem has been spider mites, but I can't see any here.

Anyone have an idea what's going on, and/or what I can do about it? I haven't changed anything about it's care except to increase water as the weather got warmer. Sorry for the lousy pics, the light was giving me fits. in the second pic, the yellow flowers are on a smaller Charles Grimaldi sitting next to this plant. There's also a Frosty Pink behind that one. They look fine, so far.
