Primula rust (Puccinia primulae): Remove and destroy infected leaves immediately to prevent spread; avoid overhead watering.

Yellow leaf spot: Improve air circulation and remove affected leaves; ensure soil is well-drained to reduce humidity.

Slugs and snails: Use physical barriers like copper tape or crushed eggshells, and hand-pick pests at night.
