Peter, if there is no sign of rot or mould on the plants then I'm inclined to think the vine weevils ARE the culprits, but that they have already made their getaway.
where are they laying their eggs???
Lesley,mine set seed and I have a potful of seedlings growing on at the moment so they at fertile. I can save you some if they set seed this Autumn.
I'm afraid that I agree Maggi. I rather hoped that someone might have a different answer, as if there are no vine weevils in the Petrocosmea pots because they've matured and walked away - where are they laying their eggs???
Here they are Diane,Petrocosmea begonifolia.
I wonder if it might be a watering issue.

I can save you some if they set seed this Autumn.Michael, that is a very kind thought, and much appreciated. Unfortunately Petrocosmea does not appear on our Bio Index (permitted list) at all, so we must assume there are no species in NZ and therefore we may not import any, either as seed or plants. Yet another of life's little frustrations.
