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 from the Apiaceae family, characterized by its distinctive coin-shaped leaves and creeping growth habit. Native to tropical regions, it's widely known in India as 'Gotu Kala' and valued for both its ornamental appeal and medicinal properties. The plant features slender, green to reddish-green stems that connect multiple plants, creating a lush, spreading appearance. Its leaves are long-stalked, rounded with smooth texture and palmately netted veins, giving it a unique visual interest. In traditional medicine, particularly Ayurveda, the Brahmi plant has been used for centuries for its potential benefits to skin health and overall wellness. This adaptability makes it a favorite among gardeners looking for plants that serve both aesthetic and practical purposes.

Light & Placement

The Brahmi Dollar plant thrives in medium to bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight should be avoided as it can burn the delicate leaves. The ideal placement is near east or north-facing windows where morning light is gentle and filtered. If you have limited natural light, the plant can adapt to well-lit indoor spaces with artificial lighting. This versatility makes it suitable for various rooms in your home, from living areas to bathrooms. The plant's trailing growth habit means it can be displayed in hanging baskets where stems cascade gracefully, or placed on elevated surfaces where it can spill over the edges. When positioning your plant, ensure there's adequate air circulation, but avoid placing it in drafty areas or near air conditioning vents.

Watering & Humidity

Watering your Brahmi Dollar plant is straightforward - water thoroughly when the topsoil is completely dry. Since it's mostly grown indoors, the soil may take a few days to dry out completely between waterings. It's important to avoid overwatering, as this plant prefers well-draining soil that doesn't retain excess moisture. When watering, ensure water flows through the drainage holes, then empty any saucer or cache pot after 15-20 minutes to prevent root rot. The Brahmi Dollar plant appreciates moderate humidity levels, which is naturally achieved in most Indian homes. In extremely dry conditions, occasional misting or placing the plant near a humidity tray can help maintain optimal growing conditions. During the monsoon season, reduce watering frequency as the plant may retain more moisture from the ambient humidity.

Pet Safety & Toxicity

Good news for pet owners - the Brahmi Dollar plant is considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. This makes it an excellent choice for homes with curious pets who might occasionally nibble on houseplants. While it's safe, it's still best to discourage pets from chewing on any houseplants to prevent potential digestive upset. The plant's safety profile adds to its appeal as a family-friendly option that won't cause harm if accidentally ingested. This pet-friendly characteristic, combined with its low-maintenance nature and medicinal reputation, makes the Brahmi Dollar plant an ideal addition to homes with both humans and animal companions.

Care steps

  1. Place in bright, indirect light. Position near east or north-facing windows, avoiding direct sunlight which can burn the leaves.
  2. Water when soil is dry. Thoroughly water only when the topsoil is completely dry, ensuring proper drainage to prevent root rot.
  3. Use well-draining soil. Plant in a soil mix that doesn't retain excess moisture, such as one containing perlite or sand for better aeration.
  4. Fertilize occasionally. Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer or vermicompost every 2 months during the growing season to support healthy growth.
  5. Maintain moderate humidity. The plant adapts well to typical home humidity, but misting occasionally can help in very dry conditions.
  6. Prune as needed. Trim back leggy growth to maintain shape and encourage fuller, bushier development of your Brahmi Dollar plant.
