About this plant
Indestructible. Air-purifying. Quietly architectural.
Morpankhi, also known as Thuja or Platycladus orientalis, is a versatile evergreen conifer that has become a popular choice for gardeners and plant enthusiasts across India. This hardy plant features a distinctive pyramidal shape with flat sprays of scale-like, bright green foliage that maintains its colour throughout the year. Native to parts of East Asia, Morpankhi has adapted well to Indian climates and is valued for its aesthetic appeal and practical benefits.
In India, people buy Morpankhi plants for multiple reasons. Many appreciate its air-purifying qualities, as it helps absorb harmful chemicals from the environment while releasing oxygen-rich air. Others choose it for landscaping purposes, where its pyramidal form creates natural privacy screens or adds structure to garden designs. The plant's low-maintenance nature makes it particularly appealing to beginners and busy homeowners who want greenery without constant care.

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 Morpankhi Plant
Morpankhi, scientifically known as Platycladus orientalis, is a monotypic genus of evergreen coniferous trees in the cypress family Cupressaceae. Also called Chinese thuja or Oriental arborvitae, this plant features distinctive flat sprays of scale-like leaves that remain bright green year-round. Its branches are short, loosely arranged, and typically grow upward, creating a naturally pyramidal shape. The bark is brownish and peels off in narrow vertical strips. Native to northeastern parts of East Asia, Morpankhi has adapted well to various climates and is now widely cultivated across India for its ornamental value and practical benefits.
Light & Placement
Morpankhi plants thrive in bright light conditions. When grown outdoors, they prefer full sunlight but can tolerate partial shade, especially during the intense Indian summers. In tropical regions, placing the plant under the shade of a larger tree during peak summer months can prevent leaf scorch. Indoors, position your Morpankhi near a window that receives at least 4-6 hours of bright, indirect light daily. The plant does well in temperatures between 15-30 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for most Indian homes. Its versatility allows it to be placed in living rooms, offices, or on balconies where light conditions are adequate.
Watering & Humidity
Morpankhi plants have moderate watering needs. Water your plant when the top one inch of soil feels dry to the touch. This typically means watering every 7-10 days, but adjust frequency based on your climate and season. During the monsoon, reduce watering as increased humidity and rainfall may keep the soil moist longer. The plant is relatively drought-tolerant once established but performs best with consistent moisture. Average indoor humidity levels are sufficient for Morpankhi, making it easy to care for in most homes. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Care steps
- Choose bright location. Place your Morpankhi where it receives 4-6 hours of bright light daily, avoiding harsh afternoon sun in summer.
- Water when dry. Check the top inch of soil and water only when it feels dry to the touch, typically every 7-10 days.
- Ensure good drainage. Use a pot with drainage holes and well-draining soil to prevent waterlogging which can harm the roots.
- Fertilize monthly. Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer or vermicompost every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to maintain healthy growth.
- Prune lightly. Trim any dead or yellowing branches to maintain the plant's shape and encourage new, healthy growth.
- Monitor for pests. Check regularly for common houseplant pests like spider mites and treat with neem oil if you notice any infestation.
