Watch out for

Root rot: Water only when compost is dry and ensure pots have excellent drainage.

Powdery mildew: Improve air circulation and avoid wetting foliage; treat with a suitable fungicide if severe.

Mealybugs: Wipe off with alcohol-dipped cotton bud or apply insecticidal soap.

Vine weevil: Use biological nematodes or systemic insecticides to control larvae.

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