I have a dwarf red in a pot and it got cooler than 55 where I'm at one night this week and it didn't even flinch. That does look like fertilizer burn even though you claim that it wasn't fed for awhile. Did a dog pee on it?...lol
I mean on the ground next to it.
I guess it could be still fertilizer burn. You take some plants that don't get a lot of direct sun and with that larger leaves then. You add a cool night where the plant does not grow at all for a while because of the temps. Plant is not using up whats in soil cause its temporarily shut down. Just sits in it.
