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.
The Hibiscus China Pink is a variety of the hibiscus shrub known for its striking pink flowers that can bloom year-round in tropical climates. Native to warm regions, this plant belongs to the Malvaceae family and is characterized by its large, showy blooms and glossy green leaves. In India, hibiscus plants are commonly grown in gardens, balconies, and even as ornamental shrubs. The China Pink variety is particularly popular for its vibrant colour and relatively easy care requirements, making it a favourite among home gardeners. The plant can grow up to 6-10 feet tall if properly maintained, with a bushy growth habit that creates an attractive display of flowers.
Light & Placement
Hibiscus plants thrive in bright, direct sunlight and require at least 6-7 hours of sunlight daily for optimal flowering. In the Indian context, place your hibiscus in a south or west-facing balcony, garden spot, or terrace where it can receive maximum sunlight. While it loves heat, extremely harsh afternoon sun in very hot regions might benefit from some partial shade during peak summer hours. This plant is best kept outdoors as it needs good air circulation and direct sunlight to bloom abundantly. If you're growing it indoors temporarily, ensure it gets ample sunlight and move it back outdoors as soon as possible.
Watering & Humidity
Hibiscus plants prefer consistently moist soil but cannot tolerate water-logging. Water your plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, which might be every 2-3 days during summer and less frequently in cooler months. The frequency depends on your climate, pot size, and soil type. Ensure proper drainage in your pot to prevent root rot. In India's humid climate, good air circulation is important to prevent fungal issues. You can mist the leaves occasionally during very dry periods, but avoid getting water on the flowers as this can cause spotting. Reduce watering during the monsoon if the soil stays naturally moist.
Pet Safety & Toxicity
Hibiscus plants are considered non-toxic to pets, making them a safe choice for homes with cats and dogs. While the plant is generally safe, it's always best to prevent pets from chewing on any houseplants as it might cause mild digestive upset. The flowers and leaves of hibiscus are actually used in some pet foods and supplements for their nutritional benefits, so there's no need to worry if your pet occasionally nibbles on a leaf or flower. However, as with any plant, monitor your pets and contact a veterinarian if you notice any unusual symptoms after ingestion.

Care steps
Choose bright location. Place your hibiscus where it gets 6-7 hours of direct sunlight daily, like a south-facing balcony or garden spot.
Water regularly. Water when top soil feels dry, keeping soil moist but not water-logged. Adjust frequency based on season and weather.
Use well-draining soil. Plant in acidic, well-draining soil mix. Add organic matter like compost to improve soil quality and drainage.
Fertilize monthly. Feed with balanced fertilizer during growing season (spring-summer). Use organic options like vermicompost every 2 weeks.
Prune after flowering. Trim dead branches and spent flowers to encourage new blooms and maintain plant shape. Prune in early spring for best results.
Monitor for pests. Check regularly for common pests like aphids or mealybugs. Treat with neem oil solution if you notice any infestation.
