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 Paan plant (Piper betle) is an evergreen climbing vine native to Southeast Asia but widely cultivated in India for its cultural and medicinal significance. Known as 'Paan' in Hindi, this plant produces heart-shaped, glossy leaves that are central to traditional paan preparation, religious ceremonies, and Ayurvedic remedies. As a fast-growing climber, it can reach several meters in length with proper support, making it a striking addition to gardens and balconies. The plant thrives in warm, humid conditions and is prized for its year-round production of fresh, aromatic leaves.
Your Paan plant performs best with 2-4 hours of indirect morning or evening sunlight. Avoid harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves, and complete deep shade, which may stunt growth. Ideal placement includes east or west-facing balconies, shaded terraces, or indoor spots near a bright window. The plant appreciates warm temperatures and high humidity, making it well-suited for most Indian climates. If growing indoors, ensure adequate air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, as the Paan plant dislikes drying out completely. Water more frequently during hot summer months and reduce during cooler monsoon or winter seasons. The plant benefits from high humidity, so misting the leaves or placing the pot on a pebble tray with water can help maintain ideal moisture levels. Ensure your pot has drainage holes to prevent water accumulation at the roots, which can lead to rot.
