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.

Lemon grass plants thrive in full sunlight and require at least 5-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Place your plant in a sunny spot outdoors, such as a balcony, garden, or terrace where it can receive ample sunlight. This tropical plant loves warm conditions and does best in areas with high humidity. If you're growing it indoors, ensure it gets plenty of light, though outdoor placement is ideal for its growth and development.
Lemon grass loves moist soil and thrives in humid conditions. Water your plant regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Avoid letting the soil dry completely, as this can stress the plant. In hot weather, you may need to water more frequently. If you live in a dry climate, misting the plant or placing it near a water source can help maintain the humidity levels it prefers. Proper watering ensures healthy growth and aromatic leaves.
