I bought this 5L pot plant in the hope that it would be good size and i could smell a few flowers this season. I even bought a lovely big container to plant it. The plant I received is quite small. It is of size of something that would have come in a 1.5L pot. Since Daphnes are slow growing, it would take a few years before it would reach any noticeable size. Sadly i have planted it in a small pot for now.

I can understand your disappointment, and it's difficult to pinpoint a cause from your description. Having said that, the thing that immediately comes to mind is if there is any builders rubble left in the soil - and if this has has an impact on the soils pH and viability.

It's difficult to know what could be causing this as there are a number of things that it might be. Daphnes can suffer from cultural problems such as waterlogging or nutrient deficiencies, but the are also prone to honey fungus, phytophthora root rot, fungal leaf spot and viruses.

Hello, These plants do tend to have quite lanky stems that do become quite bare at the base, but if it is not putting on lots of new growth at the tips to replace the older foliage that it is losing, then it does indicate that something is not quite right. These plants will tolerate slightly alkaline conditions, but they prefer more neutral conditions, so it may be worth checking your soild pH. Also, if it is growing in a really sunny spot, then it will need more water than it would normally.
