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 Periwinkle, scientifically known as Catharanthus, is a perennial flowering plant from the Apocynaceae family, native to India and Sri Lanka. Commonly called Sadabahar in India, this plant features glossy green leaves and solitary flowers in vibrant shades of white, purple, and pink. As a fast-growing ornamental plant, it's popular for its ability to bloom continuously in bright conditions, making it a favourite in Indian gardens and balconies. The Periwinkle is not just valued for its beauty but also for its cultural significance and ability to attract butterflies, adding life and movement to your garden space.
Periwinkle plants thrive in bright sunlight and require at least 6-7 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal flowering. As an outdoor plant, it should be placed in areas receiving full sun exposure, such as south or west-facing balconies, gardens, or terraces. In extremely hot climates, some afternoon shade can prevent leaf scorch while still allowing the plant to bloom abundantly. The Periwinkle's adaptability to bright light makes it an excellent choice for Indian homes with ample sunlight, where it can showcase its colourful blooms to best effect.
Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season, but avoid water-logging which can lead to root rot. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. The Periwinkle appreciates regular watering but is relatively drought-tolerant once established. In India's tropical climate, morning watering is ideal to allow the plant to absorb moisture before the heat of the day. While the plant can handle normal humidity levels, it thrives in well-drained soil that doesn't remain waterlogged. During monsoon, ensure proper drainage to prevent excess moisture from accumulating around the roots.
