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.

Capsicum, also known as Shimla Mirch or bell pepper, is a popular vegetable plant that belongs to the nightshade family. It's prized for its crisp texture, mild flavour, and vibrant colours, including green, red, yellow, and orange. This plant is not only a culinary delight but also a nutritious addition to your diet, rich in vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and dietary fibre. Growing your own capsicum plant allows you to enjoy fresh, pesticide-free produce while adding a touch of greenery to your home.
The capsicum plant thrives in bright sunlight and requires at least 7-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and fruit development. The morning sun is particularly beneficial. Place your plant in a sunny spot on your balcony, terrace, or garden where it receives ample light. If you're growing it indoors, ensure it's near a south-facing window. Adequate sunlight ensures healthy foliage and abundant fruit production.
Water your capsicum plant regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water as soon as the top layer of soil feels dry to the touch. The plant enjoys humidity, so occasional misting can be beneficial, especially in dry weather. Proper watering ensures the plant stays hydrated and supports healthy fruit development. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
