Ever since I made the trip down to Mississippi from California, some of my plants have been acting weird. At first I thought it was just a consequence of the two-week drive it took to get here (not much light in the car), but because some plants have improved and others haven't, I'm wondering if something else is going on.
On the ones affected, their growth has slowed or nearly stopped, and what new growth does occur isn't looking great. I've thoroughly examined the plants for pests like aphids or spider mites, but I don't see anything. The plants aren't getting as much sun as they were in California because tall pine trees surround the house, but it's still a pretty good amount. Anyway, I'll post some pictures to see what you guys think.

I'm just confused as to why the plants are acting so weird after I moved to an area with a climate so close to that of their native ranges...
