Watch out for

Root rot: Ensure sharp drainage with gritty compost and water only when the soil is completely dry.

Mealybugs: Isolate the plant and treat infested areas with a cotton bud dipped in methylated spirits.

Vine weevil: Use biological nematodes or systemic insecticides in the compost during active growth periods.

Aphids: Spray off with a strong jet of water or apply insecticidal soap to affected areas.

Leaf burn: Water exclusively with rainwater or filtered water to avoid fluoride and salt buildup.
