I would think too dry aswell.
These are quite tough plants and it's possible it's roots aren't getting enough moisture, perhaps this one is in a slightly different situation where there's more sun and/or more demands on it and it's suffering because of it.

The plant in question ws next to one which is thriving.I spoke to my Brother-in-law in NZ who advised me to destroy the plant as it might have a virus which if left may affect the others.Thank you for youe prompt and helpful replies.
