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 the Money Plant
The Money Plant (Epipremnum Aureum) is a tropical vine native to the Solomon Islands but has become a staple in Indian homes. It's known for its glossy, heart-shaped leaves that can grow up to 30 inches long in ideal conditions. The plant is part of the Araceae family and is closely related to other popular houseplants like philodendrons. What makes it special is its ability to grow in both soil and water, making it incredibly versatile for different home environments. The Money Plant is also known for its rapid growth, often producing new leaves every few weeks when properly cared for.
Light & Placement
Money Plants thrive in indirect, diffused light but can adapt to low-light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. The ideal placement is near a window with sheer curtains or in rooms with bright, indirect light. For offices or rooms with minimal natural light, the Money Plant will still grow but at a slower pace. If you notice the leaves losing their variegation, it's a sign the plant needs more light. Rotate the plant occasionally to ensure even growth on all sides. The Money Plant does well in temperatures between 18-30°C, making it perfect for most Indian homes.
Watering & Humidity
Water your Money Plant when the top inch of soil feels dry. This typically means watering every 1-2 weeks, but adjust based on your home's humidity and temperature. Always water thoroughly until it drains from the bottom, then empty the saucer to prevent root rot. The plant is somewhat drought-tolerant but prefers consistent moisture. If growing in water, change the water weekly to prevent stagnation and bacterial growth. Money Plants appreciate average household humidity but can tolerate drier conditions. In very dry climates, occasional misting or placing the plant on a pebble tray with water can help increase humidity around the plant.
Pet Safety & Toxicity
Important note: Money Plants are toxic to cats, dogs, and other pets if ingested. The plant contains calcium oxalate crystals that can cause oral irritation, drooling, vomiting, and difficulty swallowing if pets chew on the leaves. If you have pets, consider placing the Money Plant in an area they cannot access. For pet owners who still want air-purifying plants, there are pet-safe alternatives like spider plants or Boston ferns available at gardengro. Always wash your hands after handling the plant and keep it away from small children who might be tempted to put leaves in their mouths.

Care steps
Choose location. Place in bright, indirect light away from direct sunlight. The Money Plant adapts to low light but grows best with filtered light.
Water properly. Water when top soil is dry. Ensure good drainage and never let the plant sit in water. Reduce watering in winter.
Clean leaves. Wipe leaves monthly with a damp cloth to remove dust. This helps the plant photosynthesize better and keeps it looking healthy.
Prune as needed. Trim leggy vines to encourage bushier growth. Use clean, sharp scissors and cut just above a leaf node for best results.
Fertilize occasionally. Feed with balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-3 months during growing season. Reduce or stop fertilizing in winter.
Check for pests. Inspect regularly for common houseplant pests like mealybugs. Treat promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap if found.
