    Something is attacking the leaves of my Meryta. They have brown patches, and some have hole on the older leaves. I can't see anything crawling on it that could be munching on it. Any ideas? And how to treat please?

    Hi Roger, not sure what that pattern of damage is - looks similar to the plant equivalent of sunburn. Was it moved from shade to direct sun? As another note Meryta doesn't like it too wet - it looks v. damp in your photo

    Hi Mike,
    Thanks for that. Could be a bit of both. We had a severe drought so I kept it well watered in a large pot until I plant it out this autumn and it does get a good dose of sun. With autumn kicking in it seems to be going through a bit of a growth spurt and is beginning to look good again. Cheers...
