Watch out for

Slugs and snails: Use beer traps, copper tape barriers, or hand-pick at night to reduce populations.

Powdery mildew: Improve air circulation and avoid overhead watering; remove severely affected foliage.

Root rot: Ensure well-drained soil and avoid waterlogging to prevent fungal infection.

Clover root aphid: Encourage natural predators like ladybirds; severe cases may require systemic insecticides.

Anthracnose: Remove infected plant parts and improve drainage to reduce humidity around the base.
