Watch out for

Aphids: Squash by hand, blast off with a hose, or use insecticidal soap for severe infestations.

Grey mould (Botrytis): Improve air circulation, remove affected material, and avoid wetting foliage when watering.

Root rot: Ensure well-drained soil and avoid overwatering, especially during winter months.

Slugs and snails: Use beer traps, copper tape barriers, or iron phosphate-based pellets to control populations.

Sap irritation: Wear gloves and protective eyewear when pruning or handling cut stems.
