Dark leaves in escallonia

I have an escallonia plant in a pot. It is a pretty small plant, it started to have lots of curly dark leaves. Can this be related to feeding issue?

    I live on the west coast and escalonia are touch shrubs.  I would just cut off the brown leaves with secateurs - they don't need TLC and maybe a light feed of general purpose next month.

    Totally endorse Tetley's comments - it needs light, air and wind around its branches!

    It is in a quite a large pot though, and less than 20cm in length now. I don't have a garden at the moment, thus it will need to wait for a while

    So it started to develop some yellow leaves. Can this be fungi

  • Hello, i hope someine can help, i planted 20 escallonias a few days ago, they are about 20cm tall from cuttings. I used compost and bone meal and watered them in well but the leaves have started to turn yellow, what am i doing wrong and can i save them??? I chose escallonia as i thought they'd be fairly hardy and would survive my novice hands.
