Another potential issue is that I'm growing some potatoes in a raised bed near the compost bin. Are they likely to go for those? If so, is there any way to protect them? There is currently some mesh over the top but I'll need to remove it soon to allow the potatoes to grow.

I don't have Queen of the Night, but I do have some Epiphyllum. Plants often look the worse for wear.
