Watch out for

Vine weevil: Apply nematodes to the compost in autumn and spring or use a systemic insecticide.

Mealybugs: Wipe off with alcohol-dipped cotton buds or spray with a suitable insecticide.

Root rot: Ensure sharp drainage and water only when compost is dry; avoid winter wetness.

Aphids: Spray off with a strong jet of water or treat with insecticidal soap.

Leaf burn: Water with rainwater instead of tap water to avoid fluoride damage.
