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.

Pennywort, scientifically known as Centella asiatica, is a perennial herb native to India and other parts of Asia. It's commonly called Brahmi Dollar Plant due to its coin-shaped leaves that resemble old Indian coins. In Ayurveda, it's celebrated for its memory-enhancing properties and is used in various medicinal formulations. The plant grows quickly, spreading horizontally to form a dense mat of green foliage. It's an excellent choice for those interested in herbal gardening, as it's both functional and decorative. The leaves are often used in traditional preparations and herbal drinks, making it a practical addition to any home garden.
Pennywort thrives in partial sunlight or filtered light. Direct sunlight can scorch its delicate leaves, so it's best to place it in a spot where it receives morning sun or bright, indirect light throughout the day. East or north-facing windows are ideal for indoor plants. For outdoor placement, choose a location with dappled shade or under taller plants that provide protection from harsh afternoon sun. This plant adapts well to balcony gardens and terrace spaces where it can receive adequate light without being exposed to direct sun. Proper placement ensures healthy growth and maintains the vibrant green color of its leaves.
Pennywort prefers consistently moist soil but cannot tolerate water stagnation. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring the water reaches the roots without pooling. This plant enjoys slightly humid conditions, making it perfect for India's tropical climate. During hot summer months, you may need to water more frequently, while in cooler periods, reduce the watering schedule. Good drainage is essential, so ensure your pot has drainage holes. Misting the leaves occasionally can help maintain humidity levels around the plant, especially in air-conditioned environments.
Pennywort is considered pet-friendly and non-toxic to cats and dogs. This makes it an excellent choice for homes with pets who might nibble on plants. While it's safe for pets, it's always best to discourage them from chewing on any houseplants to prevent potential digestive issues. The plant's safety profile adds to its appeal as a worry-free option for pet owners who want to enjoy the benefits of indoor greenery without worrying about their furry friends' well-being.
