How to Select Healthy Tutsan？

When purchasing tutsan, select a plant with vibrant, green leaves, as they indicate good health. Check for any signs of pests, such as webs or spots on leaves, and avoid plants with wilted or yellowing foliage. The plant should appear sturdy with well-formed stems and an overall robust appearance. Gently inspect the roots; they should be white or light brown and not overgrown. Additionally, ensure the soil is not overly dry or soggy, as proper moisture balance is a key indicator of a well-cared-for plant.
