Origin
Deco fruits come from special plants thet are grown for their looks, not for eating. These plants usually come from hot places, where it’s sunny most of the time.
Characteristics
Deco fruits stand out because of their bright colours and interesting shapes. They can be big or small, round or long, smooth or bumpy. Some have a shiny look, while others might look a bit dusty.
Care
Deco fruits need some special attention to keep them looking their best:
Keep them dry: Too much water can make them rot.
Put them in a bright spot: They like a lot of light, but not direct sunlight.
Dust them off: A gentle wipe with a dry cloth will help them stay clean.
Don’t touch them too much: The oils from your hands can make them look dull.
Blooming time
Most deco fruit plants don’t have flowers. Their fruits stay on the plant for a long time, even after they’ve dried out. This means you can enjoy their beauty for months or even years!
