    I have a problem with my bush and haven't a clue what is wrong.

    There are silvery slug like trails on the branches and some of the leaves have been eaten. I did find a very tiny light brown mite on one of these leaves.

    The little leaves do drop off tinkerbell when they aren't growing so well. Do you feed yours at all? The only time mine look like this is autumn or I have continuously over watered it. Does it grow in a pot or the ground ?

    Hi tinkerbell, it could be that the plant is being attacked by Keel slugs. These are only about 12mm long and come out at night. Try putting some slug pellets around the plant and see what happens. David.
