While it is particularly resistant to pests, it can be susceptible to damage from common pests such as aphids and scale insects. Control can be achieved through regular observation and the use of eco-friendly insecticides. Additionally, care must be taken to prevent leaf mold if the leaves remain wet for extended periods. Growing it in a well-ventilated environment can help reduce the occurrence of disease.
