Common issues include root rot from overwatering, leaf or branch drop due to sudden environmental changes, and sunburn if exposed to intense sunlight too quickly. Pests are less common but can include mealybugs or spider mites. One important concern is the plant’s milky sap, which can be irritating to skin and eyes. Always handle with care and wear gloves when pruning. Monitoring watering habits and light exposure helps prevent most problems effectively.
