Watch out for

Powdery mildew: Ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering; treat with a suitable fungicide if severe.

Root rot: Plant in sharp, free-draining compost and allow soil to dry completely between waterings.

Vine weevil: Check pots for grubs before planting and use biological nematodes or systemic controls.

Mealybugs: Isolate affected plants and treat with insecticidal soap or alcohol-dipped cotton buds.

Sunburn: Acclimate plants gradually to full sun and provide shade during peak summer heat.
