Patience for the numpty , please :-)

[Subject]That's what it says on the tag. Been in my newly sorted garden,
for a few weeks now..no destructions with it, but afaik, it was planted
proper-like, the planter said he had added slow release fertiliser..sorry,
no idea what but he seemed to know what he was doing.. According to what I
have read and Googled, it is supposed to be variegated and , indeed it
does/did look quite pretty. Have watered the ground under and round about
it thoroughly a couple of times a week since it arrived.
Now, some of the leaves are going very pale and have brown spots on them..
have I watered too much? ..too little ?..is it about to shuffle off its
mortal coil? Is there a site where I can go and look up about poorly
plants? I tried Googling with the name and even tried searching within the
results for brown spots..to no avail.

Suddenly pcs seem so very simple! Is it possible to reformat this plant?
:-)

On of the Google bits says-
Remarkably versatile, it tolerates just about any adversity you care to
throw its way, including heat, drought, humidity, and unseasonable cold
weather.

This indicates you (or whoever planted said plant ) could become rich by
just looking at any weed.

Dig it up - pot it up without any slow release death fertiliser--and keep it
on the dry side.
Normally when I think I have killed a bamboo by transplanting which results
in instant leaf loss and a brown scorched mass of ugliness I chop the lot
back to ground level. A healthier plant usually remerges.
