Watch out for

Bud and shoot blight: Prune out affected growth and ensure good air circulation around the plant.

Root rot: Plant in sharp, acidic, free-draining compost and avoid overwatering.

Powdery mildew: Improve ventilation and spray with a suitable fungicide if severe.

Vine weevil: Use nematode treatments or biological controls in the growing medium.

Nutrient deficiency: Apply an ericaceous fertiliser suitable for acid-loving plants.
