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.

Mint (Mentha) is a perennial herb belonging to the Lamiaceae family. Known as Pudina in Hindi, it's widely used in Indian cuisine for its cooling and aromatic properties. The plant features bright green, serrated leaves and grows rapidly, spreading through underground runners. Mint is valued for its culinary uses, medicinal benefits, and natural pest-repellent qualities. It's a hardy plant that can thrive in various conditions, making it ideal for home gardens in India.
Mint thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning. For best results, place your mint plant in a spot that receives 4-6 hours of sunlight daily. On balconies or windowsills with bright light, mint will grow vigorously. While it can handle partial shade, insufficient light may result in leggy growth. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues, especially in humid conditions.
Mint prefers consistently moist soil but doesn't like waterlogging. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring proper drainage to prevent root rot. In hot Indian summers, you may need to water more frequently, sometimes daily. High humidity is beneficial for mint, so misting the leaves occasionally can help. However, good air circulation is equally important to keep the plant healthy and prevent disease.
Mint is considered non-toxic to pets and is generally safe around cats and dogs. In fact, some pet owners use mint as a natural flea repellent. However, it's best to prevent pets from chewing large amounts of the plant, as it may cause mild digestive upset. The strong scent of mint can also deter pests, making it a pet-friendly choice for homes with animals.
