QUESTION: the plan is in the groung

Answer
ahh , ok, its either insect damage (night feeding slugs or caterpillars) or you are giving it too much water, Bougs do not like water until absolutely needed, they grow much better under drought conditions. Back off on watering them and spread some insect granular in the ground around them. Nick
