It’s hard to know exactly what’s going on here. Our initial consideration would be soil quality and the pH value of it; see above in “Planting” for more details. (Notice the moisture and sun requirements, too.) Poor/improper soil is the —er—root cause of many plant problems. Cutting these down will not make any difference if they are not healthy now. And replacing them with two is unlikely to result in the outcome you want if you do not check and/or address the soil conditions. Putting different plants in this same space is not the answer either; each plant has particular needs (yes, some needs are common to many plants, but speaking in generalities here, you can not bank on different plants being the solution).
Sorry we do not have better news. The good news is that this situation is “fixable” is you test your soil and amend as needed.
