Id say u mishandled like everyone else. But the leaf beside it has a big bite hole in it too. To eat that much leaf overnight? And not leave leaf miner like trails of snackin… id guess something big and hungry.

I live in the Northeast and I have been putting them outside and bringing in a night to garden. Today winds made them lean. I just can’t get a handle on it. I need this for my anxiety and other ailments. They are 21 inches tall in one gallon pots. Going to put in the ground this weekend. Pretty sure frost gone by. They are tilting now because if the wind. I hope they straightened by tomorrow.
Start you IPM now. There are a few write ups around here. Just use the search bar for insect preventative maintenance. Good info all around
