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.

Maintain consistent soil moisture for healthy growth by watering when the topsoil starts to dry. Avoid overwatering as it can damage the roots. During hot weather, watering may be needed more frequently, while in winters, reduce watering to prevent waterlogging. The plant prefers well-draining soil that stays moist but never soggy. In India's varying climate, adjust your watering schedule based on the season—more during hot summers and less during cooler months. Good humidity levels support its growth, but the plant is quite adaptable to typical Indian humidity conditions.
