📌 Note

This product is sold as a Babyplant, so the plant is small and has fewer branches than a mature specimen.

The number of flowers, intensity of the white shade, and flowering time may vary depending on the season, light, and stage of development. The plant may be delivered in flower, with buds, or without flowers.

The stems and leaves may have small scars, dry spots, or growth marks. These are mainly cosmetic and do not normally affect the plant's viability.

Height including pot: approx. 10 cm

The decorative pot is not included in the price.
