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.

The Motia, or Jasmine, is an evergreen shrub celebrated for its highly fragrant, white flowers and dark green foliage. Commonly referred to as 'mogra' in India, this plant holds cultural significance and is often used in religious ceremonies, garlands, and perfumery. As a perennial flowering plant, it provides year-round beauty and fragrance, making it a favorite among gardeners. The plant is hardy and adaptable, thriving in tropical and subtropical regions like India. Its ability to attract pollinators such as butterflies and bees also makes it an excellent choice for promoting biodiversity in your garden. Whether grown outdoors in a garden or on a bright balcony, the Motia plant adds a touch of elegance and natural fragrance to any space.
The Motia/Jasmine plant loves bright sunlight and requires at least 5-6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and abundant flowering. It is best suited for outdoor placement in areas that receive ample sunlight, such as gardens, courtyards, or bright balconies. If you're growing it indoors, ensure it's placed near a south-facing window where it can get maximum sunlight. While the plant can tolerate some shade, insufficient light may result in fewer flowers and leggy growth. In the Indian climate, placing the plant in a spot that receives morning sun and some afternoon shade can protect it from extreme heat, ensuring healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
Proper watering is crucial for the health of your Motia/Jasmine plant. The soil should be kept consistently moist, especially during the growing season, but avoid water-logging as it can lead to root rot. Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring excess water drains away. Jasmine plants thrive in humid conditions, so misting the leaves occasionally can be beneficial, particularly in dry climates or during the hot summer months. In the monsoon season, reduce watering frequency as natural rainfall may suffice. Regular watering, combined with well-draining soil, will help maintain the plant's lush foliage and encourage abundant flowering.
The Motia/Jasmine plant is generally considered non-toxic to pets, making it a safe choice for households with cats and dogs. However, as with any plant, it's advisable to prevent pets from chewing on the leaves or flowers, as ingestion in large quantities may cause mild digestive discomfort. The plant's fragrant flowers and non-toxic nature make it an excellent addition to gardens and homes where pets are present. If you notice any unusual behavior in your pets after contact with the plant, consult a veterinarian. Overall, the Jasmine plant is a pet-friendly option that adds beauty and fragrance to your space without posing significant risks to your furry friends.
