    hi everybody.

    i am having trouble growing Aristolochia's
    I grew them for many years, but the last 6 monthes something strange happend
    all the time.

    My plants shows very little bright-green/yellow almost transparant leaves. The older leaves were dark-green and big, but the newer leafes showed this problem.
    When i cut off the plant, the plant will give offshoots wich will grow with 2 big green dark-green leaves, but then the leaves become smaller en almost transparant ( but it stays green though).

    So everytime i cut it off, it will show max 2 new good leaves, and then it will fall back
    into his problem. I tried everything they told me. Anti-fungis, acid, compost, different location (light) humidity etc. Nothing seems to work. The strange thing is, that i grow these plants for 3 years now, and i take care of the plants the same way now in my new house, but everything seems to become a failure. I have added a picture of the small new plant.

    The picture shows you the plant wich contains the healthy dark leaves at the bottom, but when you follow the plant up, you see what problem i'm talking about. small en yellow/brightgreen leaves. sort of crappaper. because when i put my finger underneath the leaf, i can slightly look though the leaf a bit.

    So i tried everything like different sun location, fertilizer, sun location etc.
    Please keep in mind i am taking care of the plants like i always did with succes.
    It's a big mystery to me

    Really hope somebody can help me out and recognize this problem
    here you see the picture of the plant. this is one plant wich is alive yet. My biggerplant of 3 years old died when we moved
    to this house. So this plant is new but as you can see, it will die as well. At the bottom you see the healthy leave but even there you can see light-green and dark-green stripes and spots in the leave. the newer leaves wich grow up are smaller, almost yellow, and the leave at the top is almost transparant. The small leave at the top doesn't even unfold himself. ( no more energy? ) i tried every corner of the house. North, South, Easth etc. The plants in my other house standing on the south, just like these plants
