{"product_id":"347555","title":"Plaid","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeautiful New Zealand tub plant with useful properties. The sturdy, leathery leaves are dark green and grayish-felted underneath, arranged in a rosette on the branches. The dark red bloom is fantastic in exuberant clusters. After flowering, woody fruits develop, which open in 3 parts after ripening, revealing the sticky seeds. A deep blue dye is made from these seeds. The plant is rich in saponin: this is used medicinally as a diuretic. Saponin also provides excellent protection against insects and fungi. An amusing application is its use as a fish catcher: large quantities of this shrub are thrown into the water by the Maoris, causing fish to become stunned, die (sensitive to saponin), and then be caught.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SEARCH-NAMES-START --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNames:\u003cbr\u003e\nLatin: Pittosporum crassifolium\u003cbr\u003e\nDutch: Karo\u003cbr\u003e\nEnglish: Karo, Cheesewood Plant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SEARCH-NAMES-END --\u003e","brand":"Vreeken","offers":[{"title":"15 seeds","offer_id":44176259842101,"sku":"347555","price":3.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/9092\/3573\/files\/347555.jpg?v=1750786157","url":"https:\/\/www.vreeken.nl\/en-eu\/products\/347555","provider":"Vreeken's Zaden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
