Watch out for

Root rot: Ensure well-draining soil and allow to dry completely between waterings.

Mealybugs: Isolate plant and treat with insecticidal soap or alcohol-dipped swabs.

Overwatering: Reduce watering frequency and improve drainage to prevent waterlogging.

Sunburn: Gradually acclimate to brighter light and provide shade during peak summer sun.
