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 Hibiscus Desi is a traditional Indian flowering shrub known for its spectacular, large blooms that come in various vibrant colours. As a member of the Malvaceae family, this plant is perfectly adapted to India's tropical climate, thriving in outdoor settings where it can receive ample sunlight. The plant produces big, showy flowers that make it a standout addition to any garden, terrace, or balcony. Beyond its ornamental value, hibiscus flowers have cultural significance in India and are often used in religious ceremonies and traditional remedies for hair care.
Hibiscus plants love bright sunlight and require at least 6-7 hours of direct sunlight daily to produce abundant blooms. This makes them perfect for outdoor placement in gardens, on sunny terraces, or balconies that receive full sun. When grown in pots, ensure the container is large enough to accommodate the plant's growth and has proper drainage. While hibiscus can tolerate some shade, insufficient light will result in fewer flowers and leggy growth.
Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season from spring through autumn. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, but avoid water-logging which can lead to root rot. In hot summer months, you may need to water more frequently. While hibiscus plants appreciate humidity, they are quite tolerant of typical Indian conditions. During the monsoon, ensure proper drainage to prevent water accumulation around the roots.
Good news for pet owners! The hibiscus plant is considered non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a safe choice for homes with furry companions. While ingestion may cause mild stomach upset in some pets, it's not known to cause serious harm. This pet-friendly nature, combined with its beautiful blooms, makes hibiscus an excellent addition to gardens where pets roam freely.
