The shapes and sizes of plants may vary compared to the descriptions provided in the product sheets.
Our plants receive careful attention through annual cultivation processes such as sowing, grafting, cutting, pruning, and repotting, all performed directly by us. For this reason, production cannot be standardized: each plant is a living organism and develops differently in terms of methods and timing, influenced by multiple factors.
Therefore, the characteristics described on the website might differ depending on the season and the growth stage of the plant.
