Watch out for

Primula brown core: Remove and destroy infected leaves immediately and ensure good air circulation to prevent spread.

Powdery mildew: Improve ventilation and avoid wetting foliage when watering; remove severely affected parts.

Primula rust: Remove infected leaves as soon as symptoms are seen to reduce spore load and reinfection.

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

Vine weevil: Apply biological nematodes to the soil in autumn and spring to control larvae.
