Ordered Tuesday at 8 PM, delivered Wednesday by 9:30 AM. Plant was healthy, tall (about 16 inches), came in the charcoal pot exactly as shown. The packaging was thoughtful — wood shavings, tied stems, no soil spill. Two weeks in and it's already pushed out a new leaf.
I have killed every plant I have ever owned. Got this for the bedroom. Watered it once in 6 weeks. Still alive, still growing. The team also responded on WhatsApp within an hour when I asked if it was getting too much sun. Not paid to say this.
Plant itself is gorgeous and very healthy. Only minor gripe — I expected the medium size to be taller, but it's closer to 14 inches than 18. Still very happy with it. The Khurja ceramic pot is honestly the best part.

The ajwain plant (Trachyspermum ammi) is a perennial herb native to India and the Middle East, prized for its aromatic leaves and seeds. In Indian households, it's more than just a plant—it's a kitchen staple and natural remedy. The plant features delicate, fern-like foliage with slender stems that grow bushy over time. While it produces tiny white flowers, it's primarily grown for its leaves, which contain thymol—the compound responsible for its distinctive flavor and medicinal properties. At gardengro, we source healthy ajwain plants that are well-rooted and ready to adapt to your home environment, ensuring you get the best start for your kitchen garden.
Ajwain plants thrive in bright, indirect light. They do best when placed in areas that receive 4-5 hours of morning sunlight but are protected from harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch their delicate leaves. Ideal locations include east or north-facing balconies, windowsills, or garden spots with partial shade. If growing indoors, place near a bright window but use sheer curtains to filter direct sunlight. These plants can tolerate some direct sun in cooler months but need protection during peak summer. Proper placement ensures healthy growth and maximizes leaf production for your culinary and medicinal needs.
Water your ajwain plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot in the well-draining soil these plants prefer. Water during early morning or late evening hours to minimize evaporation. The plant benefits from a soil mix rich in organic matter that doesn't retain excess moisture. You can enhance drainage by adding perlite or sand to your potting mix. Fertilize every 2 months with vermicompost or a balanced organic fertilizer to support healthy growth. Regularly loosening the topsoil improves aeration and helps the plant absorb nutrients more efficiently.
