When Temperatures are High, We Bloom
We Love
Cyclamens
In 2004, Dr. Gideon Scovel, a well known breeder of ornamental plants, and Adv. Amir Drori, Agronomist and Cyclamen grower with over 40 years of experience in cyclamen growing, co-founded Décor Breeding to cultivate long lasting cyclamen varieties which are suitable for hot and dry weathers, the Mediterranean climate for mass usage in outdoor gardening and landscaping around the world.
Why
"Cella"?
Cyclamens are perceived as the most luxurious beloved indoor and outdoor plant by both consumers and landscape gardeners in Israel. The wild cyclamens can be found under boulders or big rocks in national forests. "Sela סלע" is the Hebrew word for a big rock or boulder. Our usage cell reproduction is inherently embedded in everything we do, making it natural for to connect the words Cell and Sela into a beautiful brand name named "Cella סלע" = Cell+Sela.
High Level of Uniformity
We have 350 parent lines that have been cultured at a level of high uniformity that allows us a mass production of F1 Hybrid varieties.
We Innovate in Israel
Our R&D facility is located in Kfar Rut (30 minutes from Jerusalem and Tel Aviv) in the beautiful surroundings of Modiin, an excellent area to conduct our breeding program.
Unique HDR Technology
Décor Breeding develops varieties suitable to use as garden varieties in the hot and dry Mediterranean climate. These varieties are resistant to heat, dryness and high radiation during the hot season.
