Watch out for

Rust: Remove affected foliage and improve air circulation to reduce humidity.

Slugs and snails: Use physical barriers like copper tape or organic pellets to deter feeding.

Vine weevil: Check roots for grubs at planting and use biological nematodes in soil.

Powdery mildew: Avoid overhead watering and ensure good air circulation around plants.

Aphids: Encourage natural predators like ladybirds or spray with a strong jet of water.
