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 Crossandra Plant
The Crossandra, also known as Kanakambaram or Firecracker flower, is a tropical evergreen shrub prized for its vibrant orange, yellow, and peach-coloured flowers. Native to the Indian subcontinent, this plant has been a part of traditional Indian gardens for centuries. The Crossandra grows to a compact height of 12-15 inches, making it perfect for small spaces. Its glossy green leaves provide a beautiful contrast to the striking flowers, which bloom continuously from spring to early autumn. The plant's ability to thrive in the Indian climate makes it a popular choice for home gardens, terraces, and balconies. The flowers are not only visually appealing but also attract pollinators, adding life to your garden. The Crossandra is particularly valued for its long flowering season, ensuring your space remains colourful and lively for extended periods. At gardengro, we offer healthy Crossandra plants in 4-inch nursery bags, ready to bring beauty to your home with minimal care.
Light & Placement
Crossandra plants thrive in bright, indirect light and require 4-5 hours of sunlight daily for optimal flowering. The ideal placement is where the plant receives gentle morning or evening sun, as harsh afternoon sunlight can cause leaf burn and reduce flowering. In Indian homes, this means placing the plant on east or west-facing balconies, terraces, or windowsills. For outdoor gardens, position the plant in a spot that receives partial shade during the hottest part of the day, especially in regions with intense summer heat. Crossandra plants also appreciate good air circulation, so ensure they are not placed in stagnant, humid areas. If growing indoors, rotate the plant occasionally to ensure even growth and prevent it from leaning towards the light. The compact size of the Crossandra makes it versatile for various placements, from small balcony gardens to larger terrace spaces. At gardengro, we recommend placing your Crossandra where it can receive adequate light while being protected from the harshest sun conditions to ensure healthy growth and abundant blooms.
Watering & Humidity
Proper watering is essential for the health of your Crossandra plant. The plant prefers slightly moist soil but cannot tolerate waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Water the plant when the top layer of soil feels dry to the touch, ensuring excess water drains out completely from the pot. During the hot summer months, you may need to water more frequently, possibly every 2-3 days, depending on the climate and soil conditions. In winter, reduce the watering frequency to once a week or as needed. Crossandra plants appreciate moderate humidity levels, making them well-suited for the Indian climate. However, in extremely dry conditions, misting the leaves occasionally can help maintain humidity. Always avoid letting the soil remain soggy for extended periods, as this can cause fungal issues and harm the plant. At gardengro, we ensure our plants are well-hydrated before delivery, and with proper care, your Crossandra will thrive and reward you with beautiful blooms throughout the growing season.

- Fertilize monthly. Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season to encourage abundant blooms.
- Prune dead flowers. Regularly remove spent flowers to promote continuous blooming and maintain the plant's compact shape.
