Mandevilla leaf problem

10 years ago

(I posted this in the Texas Gardening as well)

I planted two of these Sun Parasol Mandevillas in pots and trained to
wrought iron trellises a few weeks ago. Both are growing, putting out
tendrils and blooms and look fantastic ...except one has strange leaves.
The leaves are dimpled, and have lighter green yellow areas.

I noticed it not long after planting and now the second one has a
couple of leaves that look the same. I did some google research and none
of the descriptions of maladies seemed to fit. It is dropping a few
leaves, and the new growth is started to look stunted and deformed on a
few of the tendrils.

Any help would be appreciated. I live in the Sugar Land, Texas area (zone
9), the plants get a morning sun but are shaded by the garage from
mid-afternoon on. It is still plenty bright. I water them when the top 2
inches is dry, but we have had a lot of rain recently.
