Cold weather, folding leaves...??????

I have a Lady Finger variety in a 300 mm pot in a sheltered spot in my backyard with 3 other varieties, but the Lady Finger has folded leaves along the length of the blade. I have seen other posts with folding leaf problems, with the result seeming to be hot weather, temp. here today was 14 degree celcius, obviously winter, palms showing signs of frost exposure, but is the least affected looking. Other varieties are fine. Any help appreciated.

Build a greenhouse, spend lots of money heating it, and it will be happy.

Or you can explain a bit more of your location. Are you in the sourthern hemisphere? What other varieties do you have? 14C (or 57F) is not very cold; you had frost at that temperature???

Sounds like something else is going on. Maybe it's getting too much water or fertilizer in the winter?
