Vera carefully examined the tree before turning to Charlie, "Look! The leaves of the kombuc are so perfect, they look just like those fake plants sold in shopping malls. Each leaf is flawless, showing no hint of yellowing or curling."

Charlie nodded, impressed. "If it's not affected by the winter cold, then I'm sure the scorching heat of summer won't be a problem for it, let alone pests. I was worried that it'd have trouble blooming in unfamiliar places, but I guess I was wrong."

Vera nodded.
