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 naturalized in many parts of India. It belongs to the Araceae family and is known for its rapid growth and adaptability. The plant features glossy, heart-shaped leaves that can grow up to 12 inches long in ideal conditions. In its natural habitat, it's an epiphyte that climbs trees using aerial roots, but as a houseplant, it typically grows as a trailing vine. The Money Plant is known to purify indoor air by absorbing toxins like formaldehyde, benzene, and xylene, making it a healthy addition to any living space.

Light & Placement

Money Plants thrive in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions, making them perfect for Indian homes with varying light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. For best results, place your Money Plant near a window with filtered light or in a room with consistent ambient light. If growing in water, ensure the container is placed in a spot with moderate light to encourage healthy growth. The plant can adapt to different environments, but consistent light conditions help maintain its vibrant color and growth pattern.

Watering & Humidity

Money Plants prefer their soil to dry out partially between waterings. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, allowing excess water to drain completely. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's important to let the soil dry out somewhat between waterings. The plant is somewhat drought-tolerant but grows best with consistent moisture. In dry Indian climates, occasional misting or placing the plant near a humidity tray can help maintain optimal conditions. If growing in water, change the water weekly to prevent bacterial growth and keep the roots healthy.

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 consumed. Keep Money Plants out of reach of curious pets and children. For pet-safe alternatives, consider placing the plant in hanging baskets or elevated shelves where pets cannot access it. If you suspect your pet has ingested part of the plant, contact your veterinarian immediately.

Vastu & Symbolism

In Indian culture and Vastu Shastra, Money Plants are believed to bring prosperity, good luck, and positive energy to a home. According to Vastu principles, placing a Money Plant in the southeast corner of your home or office is said to attract wealth and abundance. The plant's heart-shaped leaves symbolize love and friendship, while its vigorous growth represents progress and success. Many Indian households keep Money Plants as they're thought to remove negative energy and create a harmonious environment in the space.

Care steps

  1. Choose location. Place in bright, indirect light away from direct sunlight. Can tolerate lower light conditions but may grow slower.
  2. Water properly. Water when top inch of soil feels dry. Water thoroughly until excess drains, then allow soil to partially dry before next watering.
  3. Clean leaves. Wipe leaves monthly with damp cloth to remove dust and ensure proper photosynthesis. This keeps the plant healthy and glossy.
  4. Prune as needed. Trim back leggy growth to encourage bushier growth. Cut just above a leaf node using clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears.
  5. Fertilize occasionally. Feed with balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-3 months during growing season (spring-summer). Reduce or stop fertilizing in winter.
  6. Check for pests. Inspect regularly for common houseplant pests like mealybugs or spider mites. Treat promptly if detected with appropriate organic solution.
