Informazioni Importanti Prima dell’Acquisto

Le forme e le dimensioni delle piante possono variare rispetto alle indicazioni presenti nelle schede prodotto.

Le nostre piante sono seguite con cura attraverso operazioni colturali annuali, come semina, innesto, talea, potatura e rinvaso, eseguite direttamente da noi. Per questo motivo, la produzione non è standardizzabile: ogni pianta è un essere vivente e si sviluppa in modi e tempi diversi in base a molteplici fattori.

Di conseguenza, le caratteristiche riportate sul sito potrebbero variare a seconda della stagione e della fase di crescita della pianta.
