Therefore, you may receive these plants with some leaf defects, but these do not affect the plant’s viability. Leaves may show natural imperfections, slight scratches, marked edges, wrinkles, fine cracks, or marks resulting from handling, transport, or adaptation to the new environment. It is normal for some older leaves to yellow or be replaced as the plant acclimates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eHeight with pot included approx. 30 cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secret Garden Taiwan","offers":[{"title":"10.5 cm pot","offer_id":56677901074758,"sku":null,"price":18.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/5551\/3798\/files\/IMG-1126.jpg?v=1780249906","url":"https:\/\/secretgarden.ro\/en-gr\/products\/alocasia-teletubbies","provider":"Secret Garden Plant Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
