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.

Coleus is a tropical plant native to southern India, prized for its spectacular foliage that comes in a rainbow of colors and patterns. Also known as 'painted nettle', it belongs to the mint family (Lamiaceae) and grows well in India's tropical and subtropical climate. The plant produces small flowers on tall stalks, but it's primarily grown for its ornamental leaves that add vibrant color to any space. Coleus is a versatile plant that can be grown both indoors and outdoors, making it a popular choice for Indian homes and gardens.
Coleus thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight. In Indian summers, it's best to provide partial shade during the hottest part of the day to prevent leaf scorch. You can place it under the shade of a larger plant or in a spot that receives morning sun and afternoon shade. Indoors, position it near a bright window where it gets plenty of light but isn't exposed to harsh, direct sun. The plant does well in temperatures between 15-30°C, making it suitable for most Indian homes.
Coleus loves consistent moisture and prefers to be kept in soil that's evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry, and be prepared to water more frequently during hot summer months. You'll know your plant needs water when its leaves start to droop. While coleus appreciates humidity, it can adapt to average indoor conditions. In very dry climates or during winter months, occasional misting can help maintain humidity levels around the plant.
