I am desperate for help. I bought a buxus last summer to place just out side my front door. Since the beginning of this summer I noticed the leaves aroud the bottom area turning yellow, brown and eventually falling off. I repotted the plant and noticed that not all the roots had been covered by the soil in the pot as they weren't packed correctly. The bare area at the bottom is now creeping its way up and it's taking over the plant. The leaves at the top are now turning brown too. Is it a mite infection or am I not watering it enough? The soil is wet to the touch but not over sodden.It is placed in a sheltered area which gets a reasonable amount of sun.
