📌 Note' The shape, size, and shade of the leaves may naturally vary depending on the plant's age and growing conditions. After transport or a change of environment, some leaves may develop small spots, dry edges, yellowing, or may temporarily fall. Under favorable conditions, the plant produces new growth and gradually restores its foliage.
