Watch out for
Slugs and snails: Use physical barriers like copper tape or apply iron phosphate pellets around the base.
Vine weevil larvae: Apply nematodes to moist soil in late summer or use systemic insecticides preventatively.
Root rot: Ensure excellent drainage with gritty compost and avoid overwatering during winter.
Powdery mildew: Improve air circulation and spray with a sulphur-based fungicide if severe.
