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.

About Laung Tulsi

Laung Tulsi, scientifically known as Ocimum tenuiflorum, is a sacred aromatic herb native to India and other tropical regions. Also called Holy Basil or Tulsi, this plant has been cultivated for thousands of years for its religious, medicinal, and culinary uses. In Hindu tradition, Tulsi is considered a holy plant often found in homes and temples. The plant features oval-shaped green leaves with a strong, distinctive aroma that releases when touched. Beyond its spiritual significance, Tulsi is known as the 'Queen of Herbs' in Ayurveda for its numerous health benefits. At gardengro, we offer this revered plant to bring both tradition and wellness into your home.

Light & Placement

Laung Tulsi thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning. For optimal growth, place your plant where it receives 4-6 hours of sunlight daily. A spot near an east-facing window is ideal as it provides gentle morning light without the harsh afternoon sun. In hot climates, some afternoon shade is beneficial to prevent leaf scorch. Tulsi can also grow well in semi-shaded areas. Many people traditionally place Tulsi plants in the northeast corner of their homes or gardens, as per Vastu principles, to welcome positive energy. If growing indoors, ensure good air circulation around the plant to prevent fungal issues.

Watering & Humidity

Water your Laung Tulsi plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. This herb prefers well-draining soil and doesn't like to sit in water, which can lead to root rot. Water thoroughly in the early morning or late evening, allowing excess water to drain completely. During hot summer months, you may need to water more frequently, while in cooler seasons, reduce watering frequency. Tulsi appreciates moderate humidity but can adapt to typical indoor conditions. In very dry environments, misting the plant occasionally or placing it on a pebble tray with water can help increase humidity around the leaves. Avoid getting water on the leaves when watering to prevent fungal diseases.

Pet Safety & Toxicity

Laung Tulsi is considered pet-friendly and non-toxic to cats and dogs. In fact, many pet owners grow Tulsi specifically because it's safe for their furry companions. The plant's natural insect-repellent properties also help keep pests away from your home without the need for harmful chemicals. While the plant is safe, it's always best to monitor pets around any houseplant to prevent overconsumption. If you have pets that tend to chew on plants, you might consider placing your Tulsi in an elevated spot or using a decorative pot to deter excessive nibbling. The aromatic leaves may deter some pets from chewing, making it a good choice for homes with curious animals.

Care steps

  1. Choose location. Place your Tulsi in bright, indirect light with 4-6 hours of morning sun. Avoid harsh afternoon sunlight which can burn the leaves.
  2. Water properly. Water when top soil is dry, thoroughly in morning or evening. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging which can cause root rot.
  3. Prune regularly. Pinch back growing tips to encourage bushier growth. Remove yellow or damaged leaves to maintain plant health and appearance.
  4. Fertilize occasionally. Feed with organic compost or balanced fertilizer every 2-3 months during growing season. Reduce feeding in winter months.
  5. Monitor for pests. Check leaves regularly for common pests like aphids. Tulsi's natural scent often deters pests, but treat organically if needed.
  6. Harvest leaves. Pick leaves as needed for use in teas or cooking. Regular harvesting encourages new growth and keeps the plant productive.
