    Plant not doing good

    I agree, also try to ensure the compost doesn't dry out until its established itself. Also, don't feed it until it's improved.

    Portuguese Laurels problem

    Just one further thought @Selwynha, if you plan to dig up one of the plants to investigate, wait for the temperature to improve to avoid any further damage.

    Cuttlefish bone uses

    I believe they use it for molds when casting metal but I believe it also polishes metal quite well.

    Recommend a small-ish evergreen shrub that is nice to sit with

    Rosemary is a good idea. It flowers, used in cooking, grows quickly and growing cuttings is easy. Tough plant as it grows up mountains in Greece.
