===Pests and diseases===
If the plant has wilting or distorted leaves that have little insects on them, especially on new leaves, it is likely to be [[aphid|aphids]]. Spraying them with [[Confidor]] (NZ), [[Mavrik]] (NZ), [[Orthene]] (NZ), [[Super Shield]] (NZ) or a similar insecticide is the recommended treatment.
[[Thrips]] can cause dehydrated leaves that are silvery in appearance. Treating with [[Confidor]] (NZ), [[Mavrik]] (NZ), [[Orthene]] (NZ), [[Super Shield]] (NZ) or a similar insecticide should correct the problem.
Yellow leaves with orange or red [[pustule|pustules]] on the underside can be a sign of [[rust]], spraying with [[Greenguard]], [[Fungus Fighter]] or a similar fungicide should help.
