The leaves of my Skimmia are covered in what looks like Black Soot, I have two which are grown in containers.
Please can you help.
Many thanks

Question from
Gemma
I've had this plant for a couple of years now. It was small when I bought it and has never grown. It looks ill, the leaves are always a very light green, and it has never had any 'flowers' or berries on it. It basically just has 2 tiny clumps of leaves and that is it. I've scoured the internet to try and find out what the problem could be but everything I read says it's a pretty problem free, tough plant. I have it in a decent sized container in a nice shady spot in the garden...I'd describe it as part shade. I did once move it into full sun to see how it would cope but it hated it.
I did read somewhere that it might like ericaceous compost, so I tried it in that. When that didn't perk it up I tried it in a mixture of ericaceous and bog standard soil and it's been in that for the last few months. I've tried all sorts of plant food but they don't seem to do anything. I have considered just buying a new one from a local garden centre that are waaaaay bushier than mine but I'm determined to nurse this one better.
Any ideas anyone? I'm desperate!
