Inspect leaves, shoots, and fruits regularly for common garden pests or signs of disease. Good airflow, adequate sunlight, proper drainage, and general plant hygiene help maintain plant health.
Protection
Protect young plants from severe cold, strong winds, and prolonged waterlogging. Container-grown plants can be moved to a sheltered location during extreme weather.
