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 Desi Hibiscus Plant
The Desi Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) is a hardy, evergreen shrub belonging to the Malvaceae family. Native to tropical and subtropical regions, it thrives in India's climate, producing large, colourful flowers year-round. This plant is a staple in Indian gardens, valued for its ornamental beauty, cultural importance in pooja rituals, and traditional medicinal uses. The 5-inch nursery pot makes it easy to start your hibiscus journey, whether for a balcony, terrace, or garden bed.
Light & Placement
Desi Hibiscus plants require bright, direct sunlight for at least 6-7 hours daily to produce abundant blooms. Place them in outdoor locations like balconies, terraces, or garden beds that receive maximum sunlight. While they love heat, ensure they are protected from extreme afternoon scorching in very hot climates. This plant is not suited for indoor low-light conditions and will struggle to flower without adequate sunlight.
Watering & Humidity
Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season, but avoid water-logging which can lead to root rot. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. In hot summer months, you may need to water every day. Hibiscus plants appreciate moderate humidity, so misting the foliage occasionally in dry weather can be beneficial. Reduce watering frequency during the cooler months.
Pet Safety & Toxicity
Good news for pet owners! The Desi Hibiscus plant is considered non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a safe choice for homes with furry friends. However, as with any plant, it's best to discourage pets from chewing on the leaves or flowers to prevent any potential digestive upset. This pet-friendly nature adds to its appeal as a garden or terrace plant.

Care steps
- Place in sunlight. Position your hibiscus in a spot that receives 6-7 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal blooming.
- Water regularly. Keep the soil consistently moist by watering when the top inch feels dry, avoiding water-logging.
- Prune periodically. Remove dead or weak branches and spent flowers to encourage new growth and more blooms.
- Fertilize monthly. Use a balanced fertilizer or organic alternatives like vermicompost every 2-4 weeks during the growing season.
- Check for pests. Inspect leaves regularly for common pests like aphids and treat with neem oil if necessary.
