Fascia Japonica Plant - Weird Jelly/sap? (Pics)
Hello, I was wondering if anyone had experience of what this is please?
I believe the plant is a Fascia? In summer it bled some jelly/sap from the base of the plant, this then turned black and formed a patch and hardened like tar.
Today I've found lots more jelly in 2 locations. The bigger patch is where the old location was, the smaller patch is the new one.
Any Ideas what this is? it has recently sprouted branches/ leaves towards the base of the plant this summer also.
Thank you

Sorry no idea what causes it.

They are big shrubs.
I suspect it is not happy to be kept in such a tiny pot.
