Patent and right

This unique indoor plant was born in a research lab through a special growing technique using tissue samples from the 'Pearls and Jade' variety. Scientists carefully nurtured these samples in a special growing solution, which resulted in new baby plants that were then grown in a greenhouse, with the most beautiful and stable ones being selected for further development in 2014.
