Photo of California Brugmansia - sick?

This cutting grown plant (Charles Grimaldi perhaps) was beautiful the past few years. Last year we moved it across to the other side of the garden - before it was full sun, now it's almost full sun but the roots are in shade. The leaves are very quilted and turn splotchy yellow, then completely yellow then fall. We've had some blooms this season, but not as many as previously. I see no indication of spider mite. There are holes in the leaves, but that's normal and we can live with that - snails and/or caterpillars - we coexist. But the plant looks sickly. Does anyone have any suggestions? Fertilizer perhaps? Could it be a problem that the top is in sun and the roots in shade?
