Only on the Potato Leafed varieties.

Appears daily but only here & there.

Is it not just a bit of scorch Tim? They can be prone under glass...  :-\

I came back from holiday to find several things in my garden suffering scorch - half of a smoke bush, a winter jasmine and an acer, we must have had heavy rain and then sunshine I think.  They look very sad but will be fine next year.  I hope that is what you have Tim, interesting it is mainly the tips of the leaves.

Scorch? Sunshine daily?? Well, you could be right - the leaf shape collects water?

Indoors, of course. 99% of the plant is fine.
