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 Harsingar, scientifically known as Nyctanthes arbor-tristis, is a beautiful flowering plant native to South and Southeast Asia. It's commonly called Parijat or night-flowering jasmine due to its unique blooming pattern. The plant produces fragrant, white or orange-scented flowers that bloom at night and fall off by morning, creating a magical carpet of blossoms. The flowers have a distinctive pinwheel arrangement with petals above a vibrant orange tube, making them visually striking. In Indian culture, the Harsingar is considered sacred and is often used in religious ceremonies and temple offerings. It's associated with several legends and is believed to symbolize love and devotion. The plant is hardy and can withstand high temperatures, making it well-suited for the Indian climate. At gardengro, we offer this beautiful plant in a 7-inch nursery bag, carefully selected for health and vigour.
Harsingar plants thrive in bright sunlight and require at least 5-6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal flowering. As an outdoor plant, it should be placed in a location that receives ample sunlight throughout the day. While it loves sun, it can also tolerate partial shade, especially in extremely hot climates. The plant is ideal for gardens, courtyards, balconies, or any outdoor space where it can receive sufficient light. When grown in containers, ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. The Harsingar can grow into a small tree or large shrub, so place it where it has enough space to spread its branches. Its fragrant night blooms make it perfect for seating areas or near windows where you can enjoy its sweet scent in the evening.
Proper watering is essential for the health of your Harsingar plant. The soil should be kept consistently moist, especially during the growing season, but avoid waterlogging as this can lead to root rot. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. During the hot summer months, you may need to water more frequently, while in cooler periods, reduce the watering frequency. The Harsingar appreciates moderate humidity levels, which are naturally available in most Indian climates. If you're growing it in an extremely dry area, occasional misting can help increase humidity around the plant. Ensure good air circulation around the plant to prevent fungal diseases. Proper watering and humidity management will encourage abundant flowering and keep your plant healthy and vigorous.
The Harsingar plant holds significant cultural and religious importance in India. It is considered highly auspicious in Hindu tradition and is often associated with deities like Lord Krishna and Radha. According to legend, the Parijat flower is believed to be a celestial flower that doesn't grow on Earth but was brought to Earth by Lord Krishna. The plant is used in various religious ceremonies and temple offerings, symbolizing purity and devotion. In Vastu Shastra, the Harsingar is considered a positive plant that can bring peace and prosperity to the home when planted in the right direction. It's often recommended to plant it in the east or northeast direction of the garden. The night-blooming nature of the flower is also seen as a symbol of divine beauty that emerges in darkness, representing hope and spiritual enlightenment.
