    I think you need to give a bit more info - photos, rough location would be a start.  That will help people to advise you :)

    Thanks for the tip. I live in Cornwall and the plant is in a pot in my back garden. The leaves have holes and brown spots. I can’t see any pests anywhere on the leaves. I thought I had attached pictures but maybe I did something wrong! 🙄

    I think it’s starved in the pot, the plant has become weak and a weak plant is subject to disease and pests.  Can you plant it out in the garden, failing that it will need a very big pot with ericaceous compost.  Assuming your garden is acidic in your part of Cornwall?

    The pot is very large but I can probably plant it out somewhere. Thank you for that advice ☺️
