My Akebia quinata’Alba’ has become more lime green and has a black dusty look to the leaves and stems – is that a disease? There are also ants but not other visible pests. It’s in a container with morning sun and afternoon shade and I am diligent to water when the top two inches of the pot get dry. It has hardly grown since I got it 6 months ago. In temperate zone 10 weather, Bay Area, California. I’m tempted to plant it in the ground where it might be happier but was really hoping it could grow along this fence.
