How to Select Healthy Tiger Flower？

When purchasing tiger flower, look for vibrant, green leaves without any yellowing or brown spots, indicating good health. Ensure the plant is free of pests like aphids or spider mites by inspecting both sides of the leaves. Check for sturdy stems and an overall vigorous appearance. Avoid plants with wilting or drooping leaves. A healthy tiger flower should have a robust root system; gently tug on the plant to see if roots are established and not overly root-bound. Select ones with multiple buds or blooms indicating active growth.
