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.

The Gardenia, or Gandhraaj, is an evergreen flowering plant known for its glossy, dark green leaves and intensely fragrant white blooms. Native to tropical and subtropical regions, it's a popular choice in India for its ornamental beauty and romantic appeal. The plant typically flowers in winter, adding color and fragrance to gardens and balconies. Its compact size makes it versatile for various spaces, while its ability to attract pollinators makes it ecologically beneficial.
Gardenias thrive in bright, indirect sunlight and require at least 4-5 hours of direct sunlight daily. Place your plant in a spot that receives morning sun and afternoon shade to protect it from harsh afternoon rays. Ideal locations include bright balconies, gardens, or near windows that get ample light. The plant prefers temperatures between 20-35 degrees Celsius, making it perfect for Indian summers and monsoons. Avoid placing it in dark corners or areas with poor ventilation.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the growing season. Water your Gardenia when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring good drainage to prevent root rot. The plant thrives in high humidity, so mist the leaves regularly or place a tray of water nearby to maintain moisture levels. In dry climates, grouping plants together can help create a humid microclimate. Avoid using hard water; instead, use filtered or rainwater for best results.
Gardenia plants are considered toxic to pets if ingested. The leaves and flowers contain compounds that can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and drooling in cats and dogs. If you have pets, it's best to place the plant in an area they cannot access. For pet-safe alternatives, consider plants like spider plants or areca palms available at gardengro.
