Watch out for

Downy mildew: Ensure good air circulation, water at the base in the morning, and remove infected debris.

Leaf spot fungi: Improve airflow, avoid wetting foliage, and clear fallen leaves to reduce reinfection.

Powdery mildew: Plant in sunny positions with good ventilation and avoid overcrowding.

Grey mould: Remove affected parts promptly and ensure plants are not waterlogged.

Slugs and snails: Use physical barriers, hand-pick at night, or apply iron phosphate pellets.
