Arrived overnight, looking exactly like the photos
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.

Survived me. That's a big deal.
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.

Beautiful plant, slightly smaller than expected
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.

About the Brahmi Dollar Plant
The Brahmi Dollar plant (Centella Asiatica) is a herbaceous perennial in the Apiaceae family, native to tropical regions across Asia, Africa, and Australia. It features slender, creeping stems that connect plants together, with long-stalked, green, rounded leaves that have a smooth texture and palmately netted veins. These distinctive coin-shaped leaves give the plant its common names and contribute to its aesthetic appeal. In India, it's highly valued as both an ornamental plant and a medicinal herb, known as 'Gotu Kala' in Ayurvedic medicine. The plant can grow as a ground cover outdoors or thrive as an indoor specimen, making it incredibly versatile for different growing conditions and spaces.
Light & Placement
Brahmi Dollar plants prefer medium to filtered light conditions. When grown indoors, place them near east or north-facing windows where they can receive gentle morning sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight exposure as it can burn the delicate leaves. The plant can tolerate lower light conditions but may grow more slowly. For outdoor placement, choose shaded or semi-shaded areas protected from harsh afternoon sun. The plant appreciates good air circulation, so ensure it's not placed in stagnant air conditions. In summer, you can move your Brahmi Dollar plant to a bright balcony or patio with filtered light, bringing it indoors before temperatures drop significantly.
Watering & Humidity
Water your Brahmi Dollar plant when the soil is completely dry to the touch. Since it's often grown indoors, the soil may take several days to dry out completely between waterings. When watering, do so thoroughly until water drains from the bottom of the pot. The plant doesn't like sitting in water, so ensure proper drainage. Brahmi Dollar plants prefer moderate humidity levels. In dry indoor environments, occasional misting or placing the plant on a pebble tray with water can help maintain adequate humidity. During the growing season (spring and summer), you may need to water more frequently than in winter when growth slows down.
Pet Safety & Toxicity
Good news for pet owners—the Brahmi Dollar plant is considered pet-friendly and non-toxic to cats and dogs. This makes it an excellent choice for homes with curious pets who might occasionally nibble on houseplants. While the plant is safe for pets, it's still best to discourage them from chewing on any houseplants to prevent potential digestive upset. The plant's safety profile adds to its appeal as a versatile indoor option for families who want both the aesthetic and medicinal benefits without worrying about pet safety concerns.
