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 baigan plant (Solanum melongena) is a warm-season vegetable that belongs to the nightshade family. It's highly valued in Indian cuisine for its versatile use in dishes like baigan bharta, sambhar, and curries. This plant is perfect for home gardens as it produces abundant fruits continuously over a long period when regularly harvested. The brinjal plant features large green foliage and produces purple flowers that develop into the characteristic glossy purple fruits. At gardengro, we provide healthy brinjal plants in 4-inch nursery bags, giving them a strong start before transplanting.
Brinjal plants require 5 to 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and fruit production. Morning sunlight is particularly beneficial as it helps in healthy growth and flowering. These plants thrive in bright locations, making them ideal for south or west-facing balconies, terraces, or garden beds that receive ample sunlight. In extremely hot climates, some afternoon shade can prevent the leaves from scorching. When growing in pots, ensure the container has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water 2-3 times a week in summer, reducing the frequency in cooler months. The plant responds well to regular feeding with organic compost or vermicompost every 15-20 days. Liquid fertilizers like neem cake or mustard cake solution can boost flowering and fruiting. For soil preparation, a mixture of cocopeat, garden soil, and vermicompost works well. This combination provides good drainage while retaining necessary nutrients for healthy growth and abundant fruit production.
