I notice a couple of leaves having a sort of crumpled appearance. It could be the larvae of some insect on the rear side of the leaves. Sometimes, the moths lay their eggs on the rear portion of the leaves and the larvae build some kind of cocoon around themselves. If that is the case, removing the cocoon should help. regards Yazdy Palia.
