How to Select Healthy Seagrape？

To purchase and select a healthy seagrape, examine the foliage for vibrant, consistent leaf color and ensure there are no signs of yellowing or brown spots. Check for the absence of pests and any indicators of disease. The plant should exhibit overall vigor, including a robust stem and well-established roots. Avoid plants with wilting or drooping leaves, as these could signal underlying issues. Finally, inspect the growth pattern to confirm it is balanced and symmetrical.
